Waters flowed over mine head; {then} I said, I am cut off.

[To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, {A Psalm} of David.] Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto {my} soul.

For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. {midst: Heb. heart}

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. {meet...: or, run into}

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

The way of the wicked {is} as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and {they shall be} driven to darkness.

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. {candle: or, lamp}

He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. {He...: Heb. They shall drive him}

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, {even} to the years of many generations. {of many...: Heb. of generation and generation}

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

He hath led me, and brought {me into} darkness, but not {into} light.

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Because thou shalt forget {thy} misery, {and} remember {it} as waters {that} pass away:

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, {neither} hath he covered the darkness from my face.

But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold {on thee}. {take...: or, should uphold thee}

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

[To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, {A Psalm} of David.] Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto {my} soul.
