Psalms 69:4 Context
2I sinke in deepe mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deepe waters, where the flouds ouerflow me. 3I am weary of my crying, my throate is dried: mine eyes faile while I waite for my God. 4They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the haires of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mineenemies wrongfully, are mightie: then I restored that which I tooke not away. 5O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse; and my sinnes are not hidde from thee. 6Let not them that waite on thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seeke thee, beconfounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
