Contextual Overview

¹

For the director of music. To the tune of "Lilies." A psalm of David.

God, save me, because the water has risen to my neck. ² I'm sinking down into the mud, and there is nothing to stand on. I am in deep water, and the flood covers me. ³ I am tired from calling for help; my throat is sore. My eyes are tired from waiting for God to help me. ⁴ There are more people who hate me for no reason than hairs on my head; powerful enemies want to destroy me for no reason. They make me pay back what I did not steal. ⁵ God, you know what I have done wrong; I cannot hide my guilt from you. ⁶ Lord God All-Powerful, do not let those who hope in you be ashamed because of me. God of Israel, do not let your worshipers be disgraced because of me. ⁷ For you, I carry this shame, and my face is covered with disgrace. ⁸ I am like a stranger to my closest relatives and a foreigner to my mother's children. ⁹ My strong love for your Temple completely controls me. When people insult you, it hurts me. ¹⁰ When I cry and fast, they make fun of me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; :-;

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I sink in deep mire - Margin, as in Hebrew, “the mire of the depth.” This would denote either mire which was itself so deep that one could not extricate himself from it; or, mire found in a deep place, as at the bottom of a pit. Compare the notes at Psalms 40:2. An illustration of this might be drawn from the case of Joseph, cast by his brethren into a deep pit Genesis 37:24; or from the case of Jeremiah, thrown into a deep dungeon: “And they let down Jeremiah with cords; and in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire,” Jeremiah 38:6.

Where there is no standing - No solid ground; nothing for the foot to rest on. “I am come into deep waters.” Margin, as in Hebrew, “depth of waters.” That is, waters where he could not touch the bottom - an image of some peril that threatened his life.

Where the floods overflow me - The waters. They break over my head. My life is “in danger.”
