Psalm 88: Did the Psalmist Leave His Prayer with Peace?

Topic tags
Psalm 88:1-18 has long been called “The Dark Night of the Soul.” The Psalmist begins feeling despondent and ends feeling despondent.

I am suggesting, that, in light of Philippians 4:4-8, the Psalmist probably did experience God’s peace by pouring out his soul, but it is possible to experience God’s peace and still be despondent.

What do you think about this? Any other thoughts on Psalm 88 or despondency?
