Context of Psalms 69:13

11When I dress in burlap to show sorrow, they make fun of me. 12I am the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks sing about me. But I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. 14Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters. 15Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me.
