they compassed me about together;
as waters coming from many places, from all quarters, meet together, and together surround a person or place in such circumstances was Christ, when the bulls of Bashan beset him around, and the assembly of the wicked enclosed him, and innumerable evils encompassed him about, ( Psalms 22:12 Psalms 22:16 ) ( 40:12 ) .

Salmos 88:17 In-Context

15 Estou aflito, e prestes a morrer desde a minha mocidade; sofro os teus terrores, estou desamparado.
16 Sobre mim tem passado a tua ardente indignação; os teus terrores deram cabo de mim.
17 Como águas me rodeiam todo o dia; cercam-me todos juntos.
18 Aparte de mim amigos e companheiros; os meus conhecidos se acham nas trevas.
