Psalm 88:15
“I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 88Meaning
The lament broadens from a present crisis to suffering experienced over a long span of life. The verse resists easy explanations and underscores how chronic distress can exhaust a person’s inner resources.
Read carefully
Psalm 88 gives chronic suffering a place in prayer without making that judgment.
Reflection
Respond with patience, humility, and durable support rather than quick explanations.
