Context of Psalms 69:13

11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb to them. 12Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me. But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, at an acceptable time; God, in the greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with Your saving truth. 14Rescue me from the mud and do not let me sink; May I be rescued from those who hate me, and from the depths of water. 15May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me.
