Psalms 69:1-5

1Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck.

2Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can’t find a foothold. I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me.

3I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me.

4Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me with lies, demanding that I give back what I didn’t steal.

5O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.
