Commentary on Psalms 88:3

Theological / Devotional

Of troubles. See Job 10:15; Ps. 123:4. The tone of the psalm resembles the complaints of Job in the first chapters of the book of Job.

Grave. Heb. she’ol (see on Prov. 15:11). The psalmist urges his extremity as the reason for God’s hearing him. Sick unto death, Hezekiah could plead as did David.
