Context of Psalms 69:13

11I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them. 12Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards. But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation. 14Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters. 15Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
