53. They tried to kill me in a pit;they threw stones at me.
54. Water came up over my head,and I said, “I am going to die.”
55. I called out to you, Lord,from the bottom of the pit.
56. You heard me calling, “Do not close your earsand ignore my gasps and shouts.”
57. You came near when I called to you;you said, “Don’t be afraid.”
