Psalms 69

David cries out to YHWH for deliverance from overwhelming distress and unjust persecution, describing himself as sinking in deep waters while enemies who hate him without cause outnumber the hairs of his head.[1][2] The psalm progresses through three movements—plea for help, imprecations against enemies, and confident praise—culminating in David's assurance that YHWH will save Zion and restore the cities of Judah, with all creation called to praise Him.[2]
