Psalm 69:1-3
English Standard Version
Save Me, O God
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Lilies. Of David.
69 Save me, O God!
For (B)the waters have come up to my neck.[a]
2 I sink in deep (C)mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood (D)sweeps over me.
3 (E)I am weary with my crying out;
(F)my throat is parched.
(G)My eyes grow dim
with (H)waiting for my God.

Psalm 69:6-13
English Standard Version
6 Let not those who hope in you (A)be put to shame through me,
O Lord God of hosts;
let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
O God of Israel.
7 For it is (B)for your sake that I have borne reproach,
that dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become (C)a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother's sons.
9 For (D)zeal for your house has consumed me,
and (E)the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled[a] my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.
11 When I made (F)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (G)a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who (H)sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make (I)songs about me.
13 But as for me, my (J)prayer is to you, O Lord.
At (K)an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
