Context of Psalms 69:19
17Answer me, Adonai, for good is Your mercy. With Your great compassion, turn to me. 18Hide not Your face from Your servant. For I am in distress—answer me quickly. Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my foes. 20You know my reproach, my shame, my disgrace. All my adversaries are before You. 21Scorn has broken my heart, so I am sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but found none.
