Psalms 69:3

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.

World English 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 sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

4Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
