Out of the Deep Waters
Read the Story
The title says The title of Psalm 69 says it is by David. He cried, Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck! He felt like he was sinking in deep mud. He was weary from crying.
Many hated him without a cause. Even his brothers treated him like a stranger. David said, The zeal of your house consumes me. He loved God's house very much.
David prayed, Answer me, Yahweh, for your loving kindness is good. He promised, I will praise the name of God with a song. Yahweh hears the needy. Let heaven and earth praise him!
