Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - Let not the waterflood overflew me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. The reference is still to vers. 1, 2; and the prayer is for deliverance from the dangers and entanglements there spoken of.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Pit.--Properly, well. A stone usually covered the wells (Genesis 29:10), which explains the phrase, "shut her mouth." Is this merely figurative; or have we here a reminiscence of some terrible crime, analogous to that of Cawnpore?
