¹ “You say, ²  ‘He is foam ³  on the face of the waters; ⁴  their portion of the land is cursed so that no one goes to their vineyard. ⁵ 

He marks out the horizon ¹  on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.

He shrouded himself in darkness, ¹  in thick rain clouds. ² 

The depths ¹  of the sea ²  were exposed; the inner regions ³  of the world were uncovered by ⁴  your battle cry, ⁵  Lord, by the powerful breath from your nose. ⁶ 

The Lord’s shout is heard over the water; ¹  the majestic God thunders, ²  the Lord appears over the surging water. ³ 

Let them disappear ¹  like water that flows away! ²  Let them wither like grass! ³ 

For the music director; according to the tune of “Lilies;” ²  by David. Deliver me, O God, for the water has reached my neck. ³ 

I sink into the deep mire where there is no solid ground; ¹  I am in ²  deep water, and the current overpowers me.

Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink! Deliver me ¹  from those who hate me, from the deep water!

The clouds poured down rain; ¹  the skies thundered. ²  Yes, your arrows ³  flashed about.

Above the sound of the surging water, ¹  and the mighty waves of the sea, the Lord sits enthroned in majesty. ² 

The words of a person’s mouth are like ¹  deep waters, ²  and ³  the fountain of wisdom ⁴  is like ⁵  a flowing brook. ⁶ 

The king’s heart ¹  is in the hand ²  of the Lord like channels of water; ³  he turns it wherever he wants.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,

Like cold water to a weary person, ¹  so is good news from a distant land. ² 

the grave, ¹  the barren womb, ²  land that is not satisfied with water, and fire that never says, “Enough!” ³ 

I constructed pools of water for myself, to irrigate my grove ¹  of flourishing trees.

His eyes are like doves by streams of water, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.

For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither, like an orchard ¹  that is unwatered.

“I will turn her into a place that is overrun with wild animals ¹  and covered with pools of stagnant water. I will get rid of her, just as one sweeps away dirt with a broom,” ²  says the Lord who commands armies.
