Context of Psalms 69:17

15Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me. 16Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me; And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily. 18Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies. 19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
