Psalm 69:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 I am sinking deep in the mud,
and my feet are slipping.
I am about to be swept under
by a mighty flood.
3 I am worn out from crying,
and my throat is dry.
I have waited for you
till my eyes are blurred.
4 (A) There are more people
who hate me for no reason
than there are hairs
on my head.
Many terrible enemies
want to destroy me, God.
Am I supposed to give back
something I didn't steal?
Psalm 69:2-4
New International Version
2 I sink in the miry depths,(A)
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help;(B)
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(C)
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me(D) without reason(E)
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(F)
those who seek to destroy me.(G)
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
