Psalms 69:2

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing ,.... Which signifies not despair of mind, but difficult and distressed circumstances; the Messiah now bearing the filthy sins of his people, and the punishment of them, and so was got into the horrible pit, the mire and clay; See Gill on Psalm 40:2 ;

I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me : as afflictions are often compared to waters in Scripture, Christ's sorrows and sufferings are very aptly signified by deep waters and overflowing floods; and therefore rightly called a baptism, as by himself, Luke 12:50 , when he was as one immersed in and overwhelmed with water.
