Psalm 69:1-3

Amplified Bible

A Cry of Distress and Imprecation on Adversaries.

To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Lilies.” A Psalm of David.

69 Save me, O God,
For the waters have threatened my life [they have come up to my neck].
²
I have sunk in deep mire, where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, where a flood overwhelms me.
³
I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My eyes fail while I wait [with confident expectation] for my God.
