Psalms 88:8

8. Mine acquaintance The neighbouring nations. The psalmist is speaking from the soul of his people. The social aspect of his sufferings now appears.

An abomination unto them Abominations, the plural form, is intensive an assemblage of abominations. The hatred and loathing contempt of the neighbouring nations developed fearfully against the Hebrews at the time of their fall by the Chaldeans. See Psalms 137:7; Ezekiel 26:2; Zephaniah 2:8-9; Lamentations 3:14.

I am shut up, and I cannot come forth An unquestionable description of prison life, fitly applying to King Jehoiachin, who passed thirty-six years of the captivity in a Babylonian prison. 2Ki 24:12 ; 2 Kings 24:15; 2 Kings 25:27-30; Jeremiah 52:31-34. See Lamentations 3:6-9
