Context of Psalms 69:13
11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. 12Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards. But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth. 14Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters. 15May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
