Psalm 69:1-2

 

Psalm 69:1-2

Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.

The floods of chaos rise once more,

And spill across the land.

It threatens to drown any voice

That queries its command.

I watch it rise in frustration,

Wondering what to do.

But I know what I can’t handle

I need to give to You.

And so, I give to You this day

The rising tide we face.

I pray that You will stem the flood

And wash us in Your Grace.

I pray that we can stand upon

The Rock that is our strength

Until this tide of anarchy

Withdraws again at length.
