Context of Psalms 69:14
12Those who sit at the gate gossip about me, and drunkards make up songs about me. 13May my prayer come to you at an acceptable time, O Lord. O God, out of the greatness of your mercy, answer me with the truth of your salvation. Rescue me from the mud. Do not let me sink ⌞into it⌟. I want to be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water. 15Do not let floodwaters sweep me away.
