Contextual Overview
(By David for the music leader. To the tune "Lilies.")
Save me, God! I am about to drown. 2 I am sinking deep in the mud, and my feet are slipping. I am about to be swept under by a mighty flood. 3 I am worn out from crying, and my throat is dry. I have waited for you till my eyes are blurred. 4 There are more people who hate me for no reason than there are hairs on my head. Many terrible enemies want to destroy me, God. Am I supposed to give back something I didn't steal? 5 You know my foolish sins. Not one is hidden from you. 6 Lord God All-Powerful, ruler of Israel, don't let me embarrass anyone who trusts and worships you. 7 It is for your sake alone that I am insulted and blush with shame. 8 I am like a stranger to my relatives and like a foreigner to my own family. 9 My love for your house burns in me like a fire, and when others insulted you, they insulted me as well. 10 I cried and went without food, but they still insulted me.Bible Verse Review

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.”
