Psalm 69

For the Music Director. To the melody of “Lilies.” A Psalm of David.

Save me, O God!
    For the waters have come up to my throat.
I sink in deep mire;
    there is no standing place;
I have come into the watery depths,
    and a stream overflows me.
I am weary of my crying;
    my throat is parched;
my eyes fail
    while I wait for my God.

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

Save me, O God,
    for the waters(A) have come up to my neck.(B)
I sink in the miry depths,(C)
    where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
    the floods engulf me.
I am worn out calling for help;(D)
    my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(E)
    looking for my God.
