Contextual Overview

¹ O God the Lorde of my saluation, I crye day and night before thee: ² let my prayer enter into thy presence, encline thyne eare vnto my crying. ³ For my soule is full of miserie: and my life toucheth the graue. ⁴ I am counted as one of them that go downe vnto the pit: and I am nowe become a man that hath no strength. ⁵ I am free among the dead: like such as beyng kylled lye in a graue, whom thou remembrest no more, and are cut away from thy hande. ⁶ Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit: in darknes and in deepenes. ⁷ Thyne indignation sore presseth me: and thou hast vexed me with all thy stormes. Selah. ⁸ Thou hast put away myne acquaintaunce farre fro me, and made me to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, I can not get foorth. ⁹ My sight fayleth through my affliction O God: I haue called dayly vpon thee, I haue stretched out mine handes vnto thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,.... The Targum interprets it of

"captivity which was like unto the lowest pit;''

and so Jarchi and Kimchi. Some understand it of a prison or dungeon, into which the psalmist was put; it may be interpreted of the pit of the grave, into which Christ was laid; though he continued in it not so long as to see corruption; from that prison and judgment he was quickly taken, Psalms 16:10, "in darkness"; both corporeal and spiritual,

Matthew 27:45, and it is in the Hebrew text "in darknesses" k, denoting both:

in the deeps; in the deep waters of affliction, sorrows, and sufferings; see Psalms 69:1. The allusion is to a dark and deep pit, under ground, such as in the eastern countries they used to put their captives and prisoners into in the night, and take them out in the morning; and which custom continues still among the Turks. Leo Africanus l says he has seen three thousand Christian captives together, clothed in a woollen sack, and chained to one another; and in the night put into pits or ditches under ground; see Zechariah 9:11.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit - That is, I am as if I were thus laid; the deep grave seems now to lie so certainly before me, that it may be spoken of as if it were already my abode. The words rendered “lowest pit” mean literally the pit under, or beneath. The reference is to the sepulchre, as in Psalms 88:4.

In darkness - The dark grave; the realms of the dead. See the notes at Job 10:21-22.

In the deeps - The caverns; the deep places of the earth or the sea. All these expressions are designed to convey the idea that he was near the grave; that there was no hope for him; that he must die. Perhaps also there is connected with this the idea of trouble, of anguish, of sorrow; of that mental darkness of which the grave was an image, and into which he was plunged by the prospect of death. The whole scene was a sad one, and he was overwhelmed with grief, and saw only the prospect of continued sorrow and gloom. Even a good man may be made afraid - may have his mind made sad and sorrowful - by the prospect of dying. See Isaiah 38:0. Death is naturally gloomy; and when the light of religion does not shine upon the soul, and its comforts do not fill the heart, it is but natural that the mind should be full of gloom.
