Psalm 69 is another Davidic lament crying out to God for help against his enemies and undeserved suffering. “Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck”! “I sink in the mud… floods engulf me… I am exhausted calling for help… many enemies seek to destroy me… zeal for your house consumes me… I am the song of the drunkards… answer me O God with your salvation!” “Do not let the floodwaters engulf me… answer me quickly because I am in trouble… Pour out your wrath on my enemies… May they be blotted out of the book of life… I am in pain and distress; may your salvation, O God, protect me… I will praise God’s name in song… the poor will see and be glad… Let heaven and earth praise God… those who love God’s name will dwell in Zion!”
