Psalms 69:3

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

American Standard Version

In The King James Version

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

In Context

2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.
