Context of Psalms 69:14
12People who sit at the city gate talk about me. People who are drunk make songs to sing about me. 13But as for me, Lord, I continue to pray to you. Please answer me at the right time. Be kind to me, God, because of your faithful love. Save me, as you have promised to do. Save me out of the mud and do not let me sink down into it. Rescue me from the people that hate me. Save me from the deep water. 15Do not let the floods pour over me. Do not let the deep sea cause me to drown. Do not let me fall into the deep hole of death. 16Please answer me, Lord, because your faithful love is great. Turn to hear me, because you are so very kind.
