Psalms 69:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

I sink in deep mire (Psalms 40:2.) - literally, the mire of the deep; not that of a pit, but of the deep sea. Like Jeremiah, the type, the dungeon of Malchiah (Jeremiah 38:6).
