Answered in 1 source

Psalm 88 illustrates Christ's profound relationship with God through His earnest cries and ultimate submission to the Father’s will amidst suffering.

Psalm 88 serves as a poignant reflection of Christ's relationship with God the Father, captured during His moments of intense anguish. The psalm not only conveys His desperate cries for help but also highlights His reliance on the Father as the God of His salvation. This relationship indicates a deep sense of trust, despite the overwhelming weight of God's wrath during His suffering. Christ’s plea in Psalm 88 connects us to His experience in Gethsemane, where He submitted to God's will, saying, 'Not as I will, but as You will.' This depth of relationship showcases the extraordinary love and obedience between the Father and the Son, emphasizing that even in utter despair, the bond of divine purpose and love prevails.
