Psalm 69:1-3

Good News Translation

69 Save me, O God!
    The water is up to my neck;
² I am sinking in deep mud,
    and there is no solid ground;
I am out in deep water,
    and the waves are about to drown me.
³ I am worn out from calling for help,
    and my throat is aching.
I have strained my eyes,
    looking for your help.
