“God, save me from all my troubles! The rising water has reached my neck. I have nothing to stand on. I am sinking down, down into the mud. I am in deep water, and the waves are about to cover me. I am getting weak from calling for help. My throat is sore. I have waited and looked for your help until my eyes are hurting. I have more enemies than the hairs on my head. They hate me for no reason. They try hard to destroy me. My enemies tell lies about me. They say I stole from them and they demand that I pay for things I did not steal. God, you know my faults. I cannot hide my sins from you. My Lord GOD All-Powerful, don’t let me embarrass your followers. God of Israel, don’t let me bring disgrace to those who worship you.
I am sad and hurting. God, lift me up and save me! I will praise God’s name in song. I will honor him by giving him thanks. The Lord will be happier with this than with the offering of an ox or a full-grown bull as a sacrifice.
The Lord listens to poor, helpless people. He does not turn away from those who are in prison.”
Psalms 69:1-6, 29-31, 33 ERV
