Psalm 69:1-4 “For the Chief Musician. To the tune of Lilies.’ By David. Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck! I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God. Those 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.”

Have you ever been in deep distress and despair? In this Psalm David understands that he’s not perfect; he has certainly done some things wrong! However, there are others whom he has not wronged that pile on, give him grief, demand restitution and seek his downfall. David reveals here what we need to do in these times of deep anguish – we need to cry out to God and seek His help and encouragement!
