Context of Psalms 69:13
11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them. 12They that sit in the gate talk of me; AndI amthe song of the drunkards. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation. 14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 15Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
