Context of Psalms 69:13

11I wore sackcloth as my clothing, and I was a joke to them. 12Those who sit at the city gate talk about me, and drunkards make up songs about me. But as for me, Lord, my prayer to you is for a time of favor. In your abundant, faithful love, God, answer me with your sure salvation. 14Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink. Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water. 15Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me or the deep swallow me up; don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.
