Contextual Overview

1 O God the Lorde of my saluation, I crye day and night before thee: 2 let my prayer enter into thy presence, encline thyne eare vnto my crying. 3 For my soule is full of miserie: and my life toucheth the graue. 4 I am counted as one of them that go downe vnto the pit: and I am nowe become a man that hath no strength. 5 I am free among the dead: like such as beyng kylled lye in a graue, whom thou remembrest no more, and are cut away from thy hande. 6 Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit: in darknes and in deepenes. 7 Thyne indignation sore presseth me: and thou hast vexed me with all thy stormes. Selah. 8 Thou hast put away myne acquaintaunce farre fro me, and made me to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, I can not get foorth. 9 My sight fayleth through my affliction O God: I haue called dayly vpon thee, I haue stretched out mine handes vnto thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I am counted with them that go down into the pit - I am so near to death that I may be reckoned already as among the dead. It is so manifest to others that I must die - that my disease is mortal - that they already speak of me as dead. The word “pit” here means the grave - the same as Sheol in the previous verse. It means properly

(1) a pit,

(2) a cistern, Genesis 37:20,

(3) a prison or dungeon, Isaiah 24:22,

(4) the grave, Psalms 28:1; Psalms 30:4; Isaiah 38:18.

I am as a man that hath no strength - Who has no power to resist disease, no vigor of constitution remaining; who must die.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 88:4. I am counted with them, c. — I am as good as dead nearly destitute of life and hope.
