Context of Psalms 69:19
17Don’t hide from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in deep trouble! 18Come and redeem me; free me from my enemies. You know of my shame, scorn, and disgrace. You see all that my enemies are doing. 20Their insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. If only one person would show some pity; if only one would turn and comfort me. 21But instead, they give me poison for food; they offer me sour wine for my thirst.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Thou hast known my reproach - This is one of the most forcible appeals to mercy and compassion that was ever made.
