Salmi 69:1-3

¹To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.a

²I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.b

³I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
