Context of Psalms 69:14
12Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards. 13But I pray to you, Lord, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation. Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters. 15Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me. 16Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.
