Psalm 88:4

4 Io son contato fra quelli che scendon nella fossa; son come un uomo che non ha più forza.

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 Venga la mia preghiera dinanzi a te, inclina il tuo orecchio al mio grido;

3 poiché l’anima mia è sazia di mali, e la mia vita è giunta presso al soggiorno dei morti.

4 Io son contato fra quelli che scendon nella fossa; son come un uomo che non ha più forza.

5 Prostrato sto fra i morti, come gli uccisi che giaccion nella tomba, de’ quali tu non ti ricordi più, e che son fuor della portata della tua mano.

6 Tu m’hai posto nella fossa più profonda, in luoghi tenebrosi, negli abissi.
