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 ) .

Psalms 69:14 In-Context

12 They make fun of me in public places, and the drunkards make up songs about me.

13 But I pray to you, Lord, for favor. God, because of your great love, answer me. You are truly able to save.

14 Pull me from the mud, and do not let me sink. Save me from those who hate me and from the deep water.

15 Do not let the flood drown me or the deep water swallow me or the grave close its mouth over me.

16 Lord, answer me because your love is so good. Because of your great kindness, turn to me.
