Psalms 88:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 88:11

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

11 Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?

12 Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13 But to You I have cried out, O Lord,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul?
Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;
I suffer Your terrors;
I am distraught.

16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me;
Your terrors have¹ cut me off.

17 They came around me all day long like water;
They engulfed me altogether.

18 ^aLoved one and friend You have put far from me,
And my acquaintances into darkness.
