## Psalms 69:13-18 in Context (Verses 10–21 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/69/10) When I wept, *and chastened* my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/69/11) I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/69/12) They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I *was* the song of the drunkards.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/69/13) But as for me, my prayer *is* unto thee, O LORD, *in* an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/69/14) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/69/15) Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/69/16) Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness *is* good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/69/17) And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/69/18) Draw nigh unto my soul, *and* redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/69/19) Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries *are* all before thee.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/69/20) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked *for some* to take pity, but *there was* none; and for comforters, but I found none.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/69/21) They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
