Psalms 69:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:14

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink
In which he was sinking, ( Psalms 69:2 ) ; and accordingly he was delivered out of it, ( Psalms 11:2 ) ; even out of all the mire of sin, the sins of his people that were upon him, from which he was justified when raised from the dead; and so will appear without sin, when he comes a second time:

let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep
waters;
these phrases design the same, even the enemies of Christ; such that hated him, compared to deep waters: these are the floods of the ungodly, and the many waters out of which he was drawn and delivered, ( Psalms 18:4 Psalms 18:16 Psalms 18:17 ) .
