An Urgent Plea for Help in Trouble
To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Psalm of David.
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing,
I still must restore it.
| << Psalms 69:2 | Psalms 69:4 >> |
