The title pairs a personified figure of HOPE with the opening line of Psalm 69: "Save me, O God, for the waters are come in." That psalm is a lament written from deep distress, and its image of rising water and drowning has long served religious art as a picture of spiritual peril. Setting a virtue beside that plea was a common devotional device, inviting viewers to hold on to faith when trouble feels like floodwater. Prints of this kind were often made for private devotion and for teaching scripture, so the image was meant to be read slowly, with the verse in mind.
