Psalm 69:3

A Plea For Rescue

² I sink into the deep mire where there is no solid ground; I am in deep water, and the current overpowers me. ³ I am exhausted from shouting for help; my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God. ⁴ Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head. Those who want to destroy me, my enemies for no reason, outnumber me. They make me repay what I did not steal!
