53
They have silenced (a)me (A)in the pit
And have (b)(B)placed a stone on me.
54
Waters flowed (C)over my head;
I said, “I am cut off!”
55
I (D)called on Your name, O Lord,
Out of the lowest pit.
56
You have (E)heard my voice,
(F)Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief,
From my cry for help.”
