It is often used in the context of deep waters or profound places, both literally and figuratively. In the Psalms, it is used to express a cry for help from a place of deep distress or trouble, symbolizing a profound need for divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, depths often symbolized chaos, danger, or the unknown. The sea, in particular, was seen as a place of mystery and peril. Thus, calling out from the "depths" conveyed a sense of desperation and vulnerability, seeking deliverance from God. This imagery would resonate with a people familiar with the dangers of the sea and the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6009.htm">amoq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>depths<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deep (2), depths (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַעֲמַקִּים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>depths</b></font>; — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/130-1.htm">Psalm 130:1</a> (figurative); construct literal <font class="hebrew2">מַעֲמַקֵּייָֿם</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/51-10.htm">Isaiah 51:10</a>; figurative <font class="hebrew2">מַיִם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-34.htm">Ezekiel 27:34</a> (fall of Tyre), <a href="/interlinear/psalms/69-3.htm">Psalm 69:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/69-15.htm">Psalm 69:15</a> (distress). <p>I. <font class="hebrew2">עמר</font> (√ of following; meaning dubious, perhaps related to Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb077101.gif"> <em>be abundant</em> (of water), <em>surpass, overtop</em>; Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">עוֺמֶר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">עָמִיר</font> = Biblical Hebrew; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">עָוּמְרָא</font>, <font class="hebrew2">עֲמִירָא</font> = Biblical Hebrew I. <font class="hebrew2">עֹמֶר</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>deep, depth <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6009.htm">amaq</a>; a deep -- deep, depth. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6009.htm">amaq</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּמַֽעֲמַקֵּי־ בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־ במעמקי־ וּמִמַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־ וממעמקי־ מִמַּעֲמַקִּ֖ים מַֽעֲמַקֵּי־ ממעמקים מעמקי־ bə·ma·‘ă·maq·qê- ḇə·ma·‘ă·maq·qê- bəma‘ămaqqê- ḇəma‘ămaqqê- bemaamakkei ma‘ămaqqê- ma·‘ă·maq·qê- maamakkei mim·ma·‘ă·maq·qîm mimaamakKim mimma‘ămaqqîm ū·mim·ma·‘ă·maq·qê- umimaamakkei ūmimma‘ămaqqê- vemaamakkei<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/psalms/69-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 69:2</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/69.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מָעֳמָ֑ד בָּ֥אתִי <b> בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־ </b> מַ֝֗יִם וְשִׁבֹּ֥לֶת</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/69.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> I have come <span class="itali">into deep</span> waters,<br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/69.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> I am come <span class="itali">into deep</span> waters,<br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/69-2.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> foothold have come <span class="itali">deep</span> waters the floods<p><b><a href="/text/psalms/69-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 69:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/69.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗י <b> וּמִמַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־ </b> מָֽיִם׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/69.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> from my foes <span class="itali">and from the deep</span> waters.<br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/69.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> from them that hate <span class="itali">me, and out of the deep</span> waters.<br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/69-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> may I be delivered my foes <span class="itali">the deep</span> waters<p><b><a href="/text/psalms/130-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 130:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/130.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֑וֹת <b> מִמַּעֲמַקִּ֖ים </b> קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/130.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">A Song of Ascents.
