Psalms 69:3

I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.

Young's Literal Translation

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 mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

4Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away — I bring back.
