“Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.”
The prayer to be delivered from the mire and not to sink establishes the request that God rescue from the overwhelming affliction. The reference to enemies and the deep waters indicates the comprehensive nature of the threat: enemies are around and suffering is total. This verse reiterates the fundamental petition: rescue from the depths of affliction.
