Salmi 88:16

16 I tuoi furori mi son passati addosso; i tuoi terrori m’annientano,

Salmi 88:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 88:16

Thy fierce wrath goeth over me
Or "wraths" F8, burning wrath; the whole of divine wrath, in all its fierceness, due to the sins of his people: these, like the mighty waves of the sea, passed over him, threatening to overwhelm him, ( Psalms 89:38 ) ,

thy terrors have cut me off;
from the presence of God, and out of his sight; as sometimes the Lord's people are ready to imagine, when forsaken by him, ( Psalms 31:22 ) or from the land of the living, as the Messiah was, and in a judicial way, though not for any sin of his own, ( Isaiah 53:8 ) ( Daniel 9:26 ) .

Salmi 88:16 In-Context

14 Perché, o Eterno, rigetti tu l’anima mia? Perché nascondi il tuo volto da me?
15 Io sono afflitto, e morente fin da giovane; io porto il peso dei tuoi terrori e sono smarrito.
16 I tuoi furori mi son passati addosso; i tuoi terrori m’annientano,
17 mi circondano come acque ogni giorno, mi attornian tutti assieme.
18 Hai allontanato da me amici e compagni; i miei conoscenti sono le tenebre.
