54 the waters flowed over my head; I said I have been cut off!

55 I called on Your name, O YHWH, out of the depths of the Pit,

56 You heard my voice: “Do not hide Your ear from my sighing, from my cry!”

57 You drew near on the day I called you, you said, “Do not fear!”

58 You have pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul; You have redeemed my life!

59 You have seen, O YHWH, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!

60 You have seen all their vengeance, all their plots against me.

61 You have heard their taunt, O YHWH, all their plots against me,

62 the lips of my assailants and their murmuring against me all the day,

63 their sitting down, and their rising up—Look! I am their mocking song.

64 May You repay to them a recompense, O YHWH, according to the work of their hands!

65 May You give to them a covering for the heart—Your curse be upon them!

66 May You pursue them in Your anger and destroy them from under the heavens, O YHWH!
