Leviticus 14:33-57; Psalm 119:41-72; Mark 5:1-20
God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You … For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to the grave … My eye wastes away because of affliction … —Excerpts From Psalm 88 NKJV
This is one of only two psalms that doesn’t end with hope, reminding us that human suffering can be dark and heavy. Yet, God included this psalm to show us that He understands our pain. Even in seasons of despair, He shapes our character, making us more like His Son. Though we may feel hopeless, our hope in Him remains a sure and steady anchor. —Alyssa Gee
In the suffering, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few,
I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed. —Matt Boswell, Matt Papa
None of my commentaries indicate a second Psalm. It is possible to determine what the other Psalm is?
