Notes

Psalms 88:1–5

The psalmist calls on the Lord for salvation.

Psalms 88:1–18

In this lament, the psalmist sees himself as cast out from God’s presence. At first, he calls on the Lord. When he finds no relief from his suffering, he presents three charges against God (Psalm 88:6–7, 8–12, 13–17).
