Psalms 69 – The Waters Are Come In Unto My Soul
A cry from deep waters, later echoed at the cross.
This chapter of the Psalms overview pictures the psalmist sinking in deep waters and mire, worn out from crying and hated without cause, following the triumphant march of Psalms 68 with raw personal distress.
Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: 'Tis well, 'tis well.
Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
