Psalm 69:2-4
The Message
2 Quicksand under me, swamp water over me;
I’m going down for the third time.
3 I’m hoarse from calling for help,
Bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God.
4 I’ve got more enemies than hairs on my head;
Liars and cheats are out to knife me in the back.
What I never stole
Must I now give back?
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.
