Psalm 88:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 88:4

I am counted with them that go down into the pit
With the dead, with them that are worthy of death, with malefactors that are judicially put to death, and are not laid in a common grave, but put into a pit together: thus Christ was reckoned and accounted of by the Jews; the sanhedrim counted him worthy of death; and the common people cried out Crucify him; and they did crucify him between two malefactors; and so he was numbered or counted with transgressors, and as one of them, ( Isaiah 53:3 Isaiah 53:4 Isaiah 53:12 ) .

I am as a man that hath no strength;
for his "strength" was "dried up like a potsherd", ( Psalms 22:15 ) , though he was the mighty God, and, as man, was made strong by the Lord for himself.

Psalm 88:4 In-Context

2 Es komme vor dich mein Gebet! Neige dein Ohr zu meinem Schreien!
3 Denn satt ist meine Seele von Leiden, und mein Leben ist nahe am Scheol.
4 Ich bin gerechnet zu denen, die in die Grube hinabfahren; ich bin wie ein Mann, der keine Kraft hat;
5 unter den Toten hingestreckt, gleich Erschlagenen, die im Grabe liegen, derer du nicht mehr gedenkst; denn sie sind von deiner Hand abgeschnitten.
6 Du hast mich in die tiefste Grube gelegt, in Finsternisse, in Tiefen.
