Psalm 88 is a Song, yet a remarkably sad song, and is often regarded as the saddest psalm in the entire collection. The author of this psalm, Heman the Ezrahite, takes us into some of his darkest places in his life and asks God to hear his prayer in his affliction.

No strength. Like Psalms 73 I wake up to new punishments daily. In my flesh my life feels vain but faith says it is not, it is good to wait on the Lord. But being dust and ashes I can't help but to cry out how long? How long till your remember with pitifulness and compassion. Do I live forever? Please be patient and do not destroy a vapor. Have mercy on me.

I was lead to Psalm. I read it and it was such a sad and ugly Psalm that seemed to not have an answer. I just didnt understand why i was lead to it but after listening on how you unpacked it and explained how it poinys to Jesus, it makes perfect sense in my life! Thank you Jesus for this teaching. I will continue to press on and draw near to you

This is incredibly sad, it reminds me when Christ was left alone by God the Father and how he suffered greatly.

This is one of my favorite psalms, because to me it was so unique. I struggled for a long time trying to understand it. It's actually quite beautiful in it's honesty and following the lineage of Korah prior and after this moment.

I know the depths of despair he feels. Life has been constant disasters and anguish; too many to count. BUT God uses them to bring me and, even more important, to keep me trusting and dependent. I long to be in heaven with my saviour, without sin, it's power and constancy. BUT I WILL PRAISE GOD NOW. In the depths and aloneness, I will cry out to Him daily. I WILL SING PRAISE TO HIM. I pray He can use my sorrow for His glory. I pray for others who find life so very tough. I know Jesus went through worse agony and pain for me than I'll ever know, taking God's wrath instead of me. HALLELUJAH. I can know God's presence through everything as my rock and salvation. I am not alone. I shall know JOY, such joy when I see Him face to face; depths of joy known only having had such deep and endless despair. I have the hope and complete confidence, absolute certainty of knowing I will have eternity with my Saviour and that has started now. I can walk with Him now and He's always with me. The psalmist didn't end with praise, but I will! THANK YOU Yahweh, the covenant God, and the loving kindness of my Jesus my saviour. PRAISE GOD. PRAISE GOD. PRAISE GOD. Thank you too, pastor David, as you go through each Psalm, giving us courage and encouragement to keep dependent and trusting on God in the difficult times. Thank you for teaching us of GOD, His character, His name, His faithfulness, His loving kindness and of our salvation and hope. Praying for you, that you are blessed as much as you help us and you know his presence with you as much as I do.

I can definitely identify with this. 88:8 all my friends are gone and they look on me narrowly like a strange thing. I feel like at times I am counted as one who is numbered for the pit. Darkness definitely more often than I am comfortable admitting has been the closest thing to me. Darkness and not light the perfect place to try faith. When will he set me in a sure place and pull me up from this sunken place

Verse 8 reminds me of Job 19:13-17. In fact the whole psalm reminds me of Job’s suffering. I call this psalm The Pit of Despair.

I have been searching for 88 because it is not once or 5 times that God is showing me these numbers. And I believe God is calling my attention. I've been seeking God and He showed me psalm 88. This is also what I'm feeling right now. I didn't even know where the sadness came from. It is so uncomfortable. I am also a singer but I stopped singing due to our environment. It is too quiet and I feel isolated. Please pray for me. Thank you for this, Pastor. This is also the first I came across your channel. God bless you ❤

This Psalm comes to me last night, April 9, 2023 - Easter. This Psalm point to Yeshua in every verse, from the beginning up to the end. Verse 1 - "Yehovah Elohe Yeuati" God of my salvation - Jesus Christ. The verses in between talk about the afflictions Yeshua had on the cross. The last verse was Yeshua enter the darkness. And even pointed at "Eloi Eloi lamasabachtani" when God the Father's wrath was afflicted to Him because of our sin. This Psalm is a beautiful contemplation psalm that points at the wondrous work of God in the tomb, death, remember the verses that declared arise - lovingkindness - faithfulness - righteousness... Behold - stretch out arm to the sky - the letter Hey in God's covenant name, and the letter Yod - the (wondrous) work, and the letter Vav - the nail. Look at the wondrous work of God on the cross and in the empty tomb... Our Lord Yeshua Hamashiach has risen!
