Psa 88:4-6 | NETfull | STEP | They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man,

Psalms 88:4-6

4 They treat me like ^{▼▼ Heb “I am considered with.”} those who descend into the grave. ^{▼▼ Heb “the pit.” The noun בּוֹר (bor, “pit,” “cistern”) is sometimes used of the grave and/or the realm of the dead.}
I am like a helpless man, ^{▼▼ Heb “I am like a man [for whom] there is no help.”}
5 adrift ^{▼▼ Heb “set free.”} among the dead,
like corpses lying in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
and who are cut off from your power. ^{▼▼ Heb “from your hand.”}
6 You place me in the lowest regions of the pit, ^{▼▼ The noun בּוֹר (bor, “pit,” “cistern”) is sometimes used of the grave and/or the realm of the dead. See v. 4.}
in the dark places, in the watery depths.
