Psalm 69:12

A Plea For Rescue

¹¹ When I made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a byword to them.
¹² Those who sit in the gate talk about me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.
¹³ But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time;
O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with Your saving truth.
