Psalm 69:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, where the floods overwhelm me.

³ I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; my eyes fail with waiting [hopefully] for my God.

⁴ Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head; those who would cut me off and destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are many and mighty. I am [forced] to restore what I did not steal.^(A)
