For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living! To the Director: A special Davidic psalm to the tune of "Do Not Destroy," when he fled from Saul into a cave.

Rescue me from the mud and do not let me sink. Rescue me from those who hate me, and from the deep waters.

My God, my soul feels depressed within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, from the heights of Hermon, even from the foothills.

Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.

Reach down your hand from your high place; rescue me and deliver me from mighty waters, from the control of foreigners.
