¹⁵ Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him.^[a]
I will still defend^(A) my ways before Him.

¹ Out of the depths I call to You, Yahweh!^(A)
2 Lord, listen to my voice;
let Your ears be attentive
to my cry for help.^(B)

⁵³ They dropped me alive into^[a] a pit^(A)
and threw stones at me.
⁵⁴ Water flooded over my head,^(B)
and I thought: I’m going to die!^(C)

⁵⁵ I called on Your name, Yahweh,
from the depths of the Pit.^(D)
56 You hear my plea:
Do not ignore my cry for relief.
