Salmos 69:15

15 No me cubra la corriente de las aguas, ni me trague el abismo, ni el pozo cierre sobre mí su boca.

Salmos 69:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:15

Let not the water flood overflow me
The enemy, Satan, that came in like a flood upon him, with his whole posse of devils; or the wrath of God, which came upon him like a flood overwhelming him:

neither let the deep swallow me up:
as Jonah by the whale, and Dathan and Abiram in the earth:

and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me;
either the pit of hell; so the Targum interprets it: for Christ, when he endured the curses of the law, and the wrath of God, suffered the same for kind as the damned in hell; only the mouth of this pit could not be shut upon him, or he be continued under such wrath and curse: or else the pit of the grave, where his divine Father left him not, or suffered him to be so long in it as to see corruption; this pit was not shut upon him, but he was delivered out of it, and will die no more.

Salmos 69:15 In-Context

13 Pero yo elevo a ti mi oración, oh SEÑOR, en tiempo propicio; oh Dios, en la grandeza de tu misericordia, respóndeme con tu verdad salvadora.

14 Sácame del cieno y no me dejes hundir; sea yo librado de los que me odian, y de lo profundo de las aguas.

15 No me cubra la corriente de las aguas, ni me trague el abismo, ni el pozo cierre sobre mí su boca.

16 Respóndeme, oh SEÑOR, pues buena es tu misericordia; vuélvete a mí, conforme a tu inmensa compasión,

17 y no escondas tu rostro de tu siervo, porque estoy en angustia; respóndeme pronto.
