Psalm 69:2-4

New Century Version

² I’m sinking down into the mud,
    and there is nothing to stand on.
I am in deep water,
    and 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;
    powerful enemies want to destroy me for no reason.
They make me pay back
    what I did not steal.
