Context of Psalms 69:17
15Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 16Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily. 18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies. 19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
