Psalm 69:15

Listen to Psalm 69:15
15 daß mich die Wasserflut nicht ersäufe und die Tiefe nicht verschlinge und das Loch der Grube nicht über mich zusammengehe.

Psalm 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.

Psalm 69:15 In-Context

13 Ich aber bete, HERR, zu dir zur angenehmen Zeit; Gott durch deine große Güte erhöre mich mit deiner treuen Hilfe.
14 Errette mich aus dem Kot, daß ich nicht versinke; daß ich errettet werde von meinen Hassern und aus dem tiefen Wasser;
15 daß mich die Wasserflut nicht ersäufe und die Tiefe nicht verschlinge und das Loch der Grube nicht über mich zusammengehe.
16 Erhöre mich, HERR, denn dein Güte ist tröstlich; wende dich zu mir nach deiner großen Barmherzigkeit
17 und verbirg dein Angesicht nicht vor deinem Knechte, denn mir ist angst; erhöre mich eilend.
