Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 88:5

(c) Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy (d) hand.

(c) For he who is dead is free from all cares and business of this life and thus he says because he was unprofitable for all matters concerning man's life, and as it were cut off from this world.

(d) That is, from your providence and care, which is meant according to the judgment of the flesh.
