Rescue me from sinking in the mud, from those who hate me, deliver me. Save me from the waters of the deep, lest the waves overwhelm me. Let not the deep engulf me, nor the pit close its mouth on me.

Picha inaonyesha Zaburi ya Kuitikia Zaburi ya 69.

Mstari wa kuitikia (R.) unaorudiwa katika zaburi hii ni:
R. At an acceptable time, O Lord, answer me.
Kwa Kiswahili: R. Kwa wakati unaokubalika, Ee Bwana, nijibu.

Zaburi hii ni ombi la msaada na wokovu kutoka kwa Mungu wakati wa shida, mateso, na hatari. Inaonyesha imani kwamba Mungu atasikia kilio cha wahitaji na kuwajibu, na kwamba baada ya wokovu, sifa na shukrani zitatolewa kwake. Ujumbe mkuu ni kumtegemea Mungu kwa ajili ya ukombozi na wokovu katika nyakati za taabu.
