Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 88:1-18

Psalms 88:1-18A PSALM which begins with "God of my salvation" and ends with "darkness" is an anomaly. All but unbroken gloom broods over it, and is densest at its close. The psalmist is so "weighed upon by sore distress," that he has neither definite petition for deliverance nor hope. His cry to God is only a long-drawn complaint, which brings no respite from his pains nor brightening of his spirit. But yet to address God as the God of his salvation, to discern His hand in the infliction of... read more

Psalms 88:0 The Deepest Soul Misery Poured Out 1. In deepest misery and distress (Psalms 88:1-7 ) 2. Crying and no answer (Psalms 88:8-18 ) This is a Maschil Psalm by Heman the Ezrahite. See 1 Kings 4:31 ; 1 Chronicles 6:33 ; 1Ch 6:44 ; 1 Chronicles 25:4 . It is a Psalm of deepest distress, picturing the darkest experience with no ray of light or word of comfort. That it describes the real experience of a saint no one would doubt. But in it we can hear again the voice of sorrow of Him who... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 88:1-18

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 88:1-18

The Land of Forgetfulness Psalms 88:0 "Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?" ( Psa 88:12 ). This psalm is very mournful. The Psalmist is in great fear and sorrow. He has been crying day and night before God time out of mind. He is afraid that his prayer will never get to heaven; it will be lost somewhere in the darkness. By day his soul is full of troubles, and his life draws nigh unto the grave. He is a man who is marked for the pit.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 88:3-9

It is impossible for a child of God, one should think, to have any doubts as to whom these expressions peculiarly and principally belong. To whom can they so properly belong, as to the blessed Jesus? Who that reads of his soul-agony in the garden, and his cries on the cross, can fail to behold the striking application? Who that recollects Christ bearing our sins in his own body on the tree, can need to be told, that then the divine wrath lay hard upon him for our sins, and all the billows and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 88:1-9

1-9 The first words of the psalmist are the only words of comfort and support in this psalm. Thus greatly may good men be afflicted, and such dismal thoughts may they have about their afflictions, and such dark conclusion may they make about their end, through the power of melancholy and the weakness of faith. He complained most of God's displeasure. Even the children of God's love may sometimes think themselves children of wrath and no outward trouble can be so hard upon them as that. Probably... read more
