Psalm 69:3-5

International Standard Version

³I am exhausted from calling for help.
My throat is parched.
My eyes are strained from looking for God.

⁴Those who hate me without cause
    are more than the hairs of my head.
My persecutors are mighty,
    and they want to destroy me.
        Must I be forced to return what I did not steal?
⁵God, you know my sins,
    and my guilt is not hidden from you.
