Psalms 88:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me - as a heavy burden (Psalms 38:3-4).

Thou hast afflicted (me) with all thy waves. Selah - the tumultuous billows of trouble and pain (Psalms 42:7). The word "afflicted" in the Hebrew precedes the "Selah," which is appended in order to draw attention to the word "afflicted" ('Innitha), which explains the title "Le-annoth." See introductory remarks: hence, "me" also is left to be supplied.
