Psalms 69:1-3

[1] [[To the chief Musician  upon Shoshannim,  A Psalm of David.]]  Save  me, O God;  for the waters  are come  in unto my soul.  [2] I sink  in deep  mire,  where there is no standing:  I am come  into deep  waters,  where the floods  overflow  [3] I am weary  of my crying:  my throat  is dried:  mine eyes  fail  while I wait  for my God.
