Context of Psalms 69:14
12Those who sit in the gate speak against me, And I am the song of the drunkards. 13But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, in the acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercy, Hear me in the truth of Your salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, And let me not sink; Let me be delivered from those who hate me, And out of the deep waters. 15Let not the floodwater overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth on me. 16Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
