Psalms 69:3

I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

Majority Standard Bible

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 have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.

4Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
