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!"
