Psalms 88:17 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. They came round about me daily like water - Besides his spiritual conflicts, he had many enemies to grapple with. The waves of God's displeasure broke over him, and his enemies came around him like water, increasing more and more, rising higher and higher, till he was at last on the point of being submerged in the flood.
