Salmos 88:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 88:17

They came round about me daily like water
That is, the terrors of the Lord, the sorrows of death and hell, ( Psalms 18:4 Psalms 18:5 ) , this was the Messiah's case, when it was with him as is expressed ( Psalms 69:1 Psalms 69:2 ) ,

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 ) .

16 Sobre mim se abateu a tua ira;os pavores que me causas me destruíram.
