Psalms 88:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 88:5

3 For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life ^adraws near to the grave.

4 I am counted with those who ^ago down to the pit;
^bI am like a man who has no strength,

5 ¹Adrift among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.

6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.

7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all ^aYour waves. Selah

8 ^aYou have¹ put away my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an abomination to them;
^bI am shut up, and I cannot get out;

9 My eye wastes away because of affliction.
^aLord, I have called daily upon You;
I have stretched out my hands to You.

10 Will You work wonders for the dead?
Shall¹ the dead arise and praise You? Selah
