Psalms 69:2-5

²I'm sinking deeper into the mud—there's no solid ground for me to stand. I find myself in deep water; floods wash over me.

³I'm so tired of screaming out for help my throat is totally raw. My eyes are worn out looking for my God to help me.

⁴Those who hate me for no reason are more than the number of hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me by telling lies. How can I give back what I didn't steal?

⁵God, you know how foolish I am! My sins are not hidden from you.
