Psalm 69:3

A Plea For Rescue

² I sink in [the] mud of the deep, and there is no foothold. I have come to watery depths, and [the] torrent floods over me. ³ I am weary with my calling [out]; my throat is parched. My eyes are exhausted [in my] waiting for my God. ⁴ More numerous than the hairs of my head are [those] hating me without a cause. [Those who are] destroying me--my enemies wrongfully-- are mighty. What I did not steal, I then must restore.
