Psalm 69:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹²·They make fun of me in public places [^LThose who sit in the gate complain about me],
and the drunkards make up songs about me.

¹³But I pray to you, Lord, ·for favor [or at an appropriate time].
God, because of your great ·love [loyalty], answer me.
    You are ·truly able [faithful] to ·save [give victory].
¹⁴·Pull [Protect] me from the ·mud [mire],
    and do not let me sink.
·Save [Protect] me from those who hate me
    and from the deep water.
