Psalms 88:3-6
3. grave--literally, "hell" (Psa 16:10), death in wide sense. 4. go ... pit--of destruction (Psa 28:1). as a man--literally, "a stout man," whose strength is utterly gone. 5. Free ... dead--Cut off from God's care, as are the slain, who, falling under His wrath, are left, no longer sustained by His hand. 6. Similar figures for distress in Psa 63:9; 69:3.
