Psalm 69:2-4
New International Reader's Version
Psalm 69:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 I’m sinking in deep mud.
I have no firm place to stand.
I am out in deep water.
The waves roll over me.
3 I’m worn out from calling for help.
My throat is very dry.
My eyes grow tired
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without any reason
are more than the hairs on my head.
Many people who don’t have any reason to be my enemies
are trying to destroy me.
They force me to give back
what I didn’t steal.
Psalm 69:2-4

Psalm 69:2-4
New International Version
2 I sink in the miry depths,(A)
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help;(B)
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(C)
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me(D) without reason(E)
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(F)
those who seek to destroy me.(G)
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.

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