Context of Psalms 69:17
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. Do not turn away from me, your servant. I am in great trouble, so please answer me very soon. 18Come very near to me, and make me safe. Rescue me from my enemies. 19God, you know that people are insulting me. They laugh at me to make me feel ashamed. You can see what all my enemies are doing.
