Context of Psalms 69:14
12Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards. 13But 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. Rescue 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. 16Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.
