“I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.”
Psalm 69:3 (BSB)
Context Reading
1To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck. 2I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me. 3I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God. 4Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me — my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay. 5You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
