Commentary on Psalms 88:5

Theological / Devotional

Among the dead. That is, the psalmist was counted as though dead.

Thou rememberest no more. In his gloom the psalmist comes to feel that God forgets a man when he lies down to sleep the sleep of death.

From thy hand. Or, “from Thy power,” the hand being the symbol of power.
