Psalms 69:3

Read in context

Psalms 69:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

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

2 I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.

3 I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

4 Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.

5 You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
