Psalm 69:3

A Plea For Rescue

² I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;
I have come into deep waters,
and a flood sweeps over me.
³ I am weary from my crying;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail, looking for my God.
⁴ Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.
