Psalm 69:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² I’m sinking down into the mud.
    There is nothing to stand on.
I am in deep water.
    The flood covers me.
³ I am tired from calling for help.
    My throat is sore.
My eyes are tired from waiting
    for God to help me.
⁴ There are more people who hate me for no reason
    than hairs on my head.
Those who want to destroy me are powerful.
    My enemies are liars.
They make me pay back
    what I did not steal.
