Psalm 69:2

2 Me he hundido en cieno profundo, y no hay donde hacer pie; he llegado a lo profundo de las aguas, y la corriente me anega.

Psalm 69:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 69:2

I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing
Which signifies not despair of mind, but difficult and distressed circumstances; the Messiah now bearing the filthy sins of his people, and the punishment of them, and so was got into the horrible pit, the mire and clay; (See Gill on Psalms 40:2);

I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me:
as afflictions are often compared to waters in Scripture, Christ's sorrows and sufferings are very aptly signified by deep waters and overflowing floods; and therefore rightly called a baptism, as by himself, ( Luke 12:50 ) , when he was as one immersed in and overwhelmed with water.

Psalm 69:2 In-Context

1 Sálvame, oh Dios, porque las aguas me han llegado hasta el alma.

2 Me he hundido en cieno profundo, y no hay donde hacer pie; he llegado a lo profundo de las aguas, y la corriente me anega.

3 Cansado estoy de llorar; reseca está mi garganta; mis ojos desfallecen mientras espero a mi Dios.

4 Más que los cabellos de mi cabeza son los que sin causa me aborrecen; poderosos son los que quieren destruirme , sin razón son mis enemigos, me hacen devolver aquello que no robé.

5 Oh Dios, tú conoces mi insensatez, y mis transgresiones no te son ocultas.
