Psalms 69:3

I am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for God.

Open English Bible (US)

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 am sunk in depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms me.

4More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
