Context of Psalms 88:5
3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth near to the grave. 4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 7Thy wrath lieth heavy upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
