Explanation preview
Psalm 69 opens with a superscription naming David and directing the song to the choirmaster, set to a tune called “Lilies.” The speaker cries to God from a place of drowning, using water as a picture of trouble that has risen past his strength. “Save me” renders the Hebrew yasha, a plea for rescue from real danger.
