Psalms 69:1-8

1. 1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

2. 2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3. 3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

4. 4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

5. 5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

6. 6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

7. 7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

8. 8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
