Save Me, O God, a Poem From the Bible

Save me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in deep mire, 
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
I am weary with my crying;
My throat is dry;
My eyes fail as I wait for my God.

Is that from I think Peter? When he is following Jesus As he walks on water? Very Nice!
