Psalms 69:13
11 I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.
12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.
15 Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
