Psalm 69:2-4

Modern English Version

² I sink in deep mire;
    there is no standing place;
I have come into the watery depths,
    and a stream overflows me.
³ I am weary of my crying;
    my throat is parched;
my eyes fail
    while I wait for my God.
⁴ Those who hate me without cause
    are more than the hairs of my head;
they are mighty
    who would destroy me, being my wrongful enemies,
so that I must pay back
    what I did not steal.
