Context of Psalms 69:19
17Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away! 18Come near me and redeem me! Because of my enemies, rescue me! You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced; you can see all my enemies. 20Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none. 21They put bitter poison into my food, and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
