He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil.

Tears stream down from my eyes, because people do not keep your law.

The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.

to the one who spread out the earth over the water, for his loyal love endures,

The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by your battle cry, Lord, by the powerful breath from your nose.

My strength drains away like water; all my bones are dislocated; my heart is like wax; it melts away inside me.

Let them disappear like water that flows away! Let them wither like grass!

For the music director; according to the tune of “Lilies;” by David. Deliver me, O God, for the water has reached my neck.

The clouds poured down rain; the skies thundered. Yes, your arrows flashed about.

In your distress you called out and I rescued you. I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

Above the sound of the surging water, and the mighty waves of the sea, the Lord sits enthroned in majesty.
