Psalms 88:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

Thy terrors have cut me off - the same Hebrew ( tsimtuwtuniy (H6789)) as in Leviticus 25:23, where God saith, "the land shall not be sold for cutting off (margin), because the land is mine. Yet thy terrors are so utterly cutting ME off, who am thy property, that there can be no redemption of it, unless thou dost, speedily interpose. The Hebrew form of 'cut off' is reduplicated here to intensify the force.
