Psalms 69:1-4

¹“For the leader of the music. Upon the Shoshannim. A psalm of David.” Save me, O God! For the waters press in to my very life!

²I sink in deep mire, where is no standing; I have come into deep waters, and the waves flow over me.

³I am weary with crying; my throat is parched; Mine eyes are wasted, while I wait for my God.

⁴More numerous than the hairs of my head are they who hate me without reason; Mighty are they who seek to destroy me, being my enemies without cause: I must restore what I took not away.
