Psalm 69:15

15 No dejes que me arrastre la corriente;no permitas que me trague el abismo,ni que el foso cierre sus fauces sobre mí.

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 Pero yo, SEÑOR, te imploroen el tiempo de tu buena voluntad.Por tu gran amor, oh Dios, respóndeme;por tu fidelidad, sálvame.

14 Sácame del fango;no permitas que me hunda.Líbrame de los que me odian,y de las aguas profundas.

15 No dejes que me arrastre la corriente;no permitas que me trague el abismo,ni que el foso cierre sus fauces sobre mí.

16 Respóndeme, SEÑOR, por tu bondad y tu amor;por tu gran compasión, vuélvete a mí.

17 No escondas tu rostro de este siervo tuyo;respóndeme pronto, que estoy angustiado.
