Psalm 69:1-3
Contemporary English Version

(By David for the music leader. To the tune “Lilies.”)

God Can Be Trusted

1 Save me, God!
    I am about to drown.
2 I am sinking deep in the mud,
    and my feet are slipping.
I am about to be swept under
    by a mighty flood.
3 I am worn out from crying,
    and my throat is dry.
I have waited for you
    till my eyes are blurred.
