Psaume 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.

Psaume 88:4 In-Context

2 Que ma prière parvienne en ta présence! Prête l'oreille à mes supplications!
3 Car mon âme est rassasiée de maux, Et ma vie s'approche du séjour des morts.
4 Je suis mis au rang de ceux qui descendent dans la fosse, Je suis comme un homme qui n'a plus de force.
5 Je suis étendu parmi les morts, Semblable à ceux qui sont tués et couchés dans le sépulcre, A ceux dont tu n'as plus le souvenir, Et qui sont séparés de ta main.
6 Tu m'as jeté dans une fosse profonde, Dans les ténèbres, dans les abîmes.
