Explanation preview
David is praying under severe distress, surrounded by enemies and cut off from his family, and in verse 15 he repeats the water imagery of verses 1 and 2. He asks God not to let the flood engulf him or the depths swallow him, and he names the Pit, the Hebrew picture of the grave or realm of the dead, imagined as a mouth ready to close over him.
