Psalm 69:3

A Plea For Rescue

² I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me. ³ I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God. ⁴ Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away -- I bring back.
