1 Save me, O God,
for the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in the miry depths,
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
5 You know my folly, O God;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
Thoughts: I was really troubled by issues and stress by so many things that is planned. As I mediated on these verses, I realised what I'm feeling now is exactly what the pslamist felt in verse 3. He's worn out from calling from help and his eyes fail looking for God, but God knows our thoughts, as in verse 5 it mentions that our guilt is not hidden from him and he knows our folly.
Application: Not only should I pray to God for usual things like (e.g. Family, marketplace etc.), I should learn to pray for the extra strength to fight the weariness and continue to ask God for his help. Cause though God knows our troubles, only when we ask for his help, then he'll give. This is where we learn to seek him earnestly and not take for granted.
