Psalms 69:3

I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat,—Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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 in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;

4More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause,—Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause,—What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore.
