Psa 88:1-2, … O LORD, GOD OF MY SALVATION, I HAVE CRIED OUT DAY AND NIGHT BEFORE YOU. LET MY PRAYER COME BEFORE YOU; INCLINE YOUR EAR TO MY CRY.
This is regarded as the saddest of the psalms. He knows that GOD is his eternal salvation, but his soul was in great grief!
Psa 88:3-4, For my SOUL is full of TROUBLES, And MY LIFE DRAWS NEAR TO THE GRAVE. I am counted with those who go down to the PIT; I am like a man who has no strength,
The Psalmist soul felt as if he was going to hell and is unable to do anything for lack strength! Reminds me of the words of JESUS on the cross of calvary when HE said.
Psa 22:1, …My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?
Psa 88:8, YOU HAVE PUT AWAY MY ACQUAINTANCES FAR FROM ME; YOU HAVE MADE ME AN ABOMINATION TO THEM; I am shut up, and I cannot get out;
The Psalmist felt alone his friends were far from him! JESUS also felt alone on the cross for HIS acquaintances stood far from HIM!
Luk 23:49, BUT ALL HIS ACQUAINTANCES, AND THE WOMEN WHO FOLLOWED HIM FROM GALILEE, STOOD AT A DISTANCE, WATCHING THESE THINGS.
Psa 88:13, BUT TO YOU I HAVE CRIED OUT, O LORD, AND IN THE MORNING MY PRAYER COMES BEFORE YOU.
YET, even though I feel this way, I shall seek YOU! LORD YOU shall here my voice every morning for in YOU I still have hope!
Psa 5:3, My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
In deep despair the wises thing to do is seek HIM! You may feel alone lost in a crowd, YET HE sees you and knows what you’re going through! YOUR NEVER ALONE FOR HE CARES FOR YOU!
1Pe 5:7, CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR YOU.
