Context of Psalms 69:3
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul. 2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me. I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. 5Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.
