Commentary on Psalms 69:2

Theological / Devotional

Deep mire. See on Ps. 40:2.

No standing. That is, “no ground to stand on.”

Floods. Heb. shibboleth, “a flowing stream,” translated “channel” in Isa. 27:12. Shibboleth is the word that the Ephraimites were unable to pronounce when challenged by Jephthah (see on Judges 12:6).
