Psalm 69:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

Psalm 69

To the Chief Musician; [set to the tune of] “Lilies.” [A Psalm] of David.

¹ Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck [they threaten my life].

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.
