Psalms 69:1-6

¹To victory, on the roses of David. God, make thou me safe; for waters have entered unto my soul.

²I am set in the slime of the depth; and there is no substance. I came into the depth of the sea; and the tempest drenched or drowned me down.

³I travailed crying, my cheeks were made hoarse; mine eyes failed, the while I hope/d into my God.

⁴They that hated me without cause; were multiplied above the hairs of mine head. Mine enemies that pursued me unjustly were comforted; I paid then for those things, which I ravished not.

⁵God, thou knowest mine unknow-ing; and my trespasses be not hid from thee.

⁶Lord, Lord of virtues; they, that abide thee, be not ashamed in me. God of Israel; they, that seek thee, be not shamed on me.
