Psalms 88

About this sermon

Psalm 88 is a Song, yet a remarkably sad song, and is often regarded as the saddest psalm in the entire collection. The author of this psalm, Heman the Ezrahite, takes us into some of his darkest places in his life and asks God to hear his prayer in his affliction. Here is a link to David Guzik's commentary on Psalm 88: https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/psalm-88/
