The Pain of Divine Silence
The psalm expresses a profound crisis where all familiar signs of God's presence—miracles, religious ordinances, and national symbols—have vanished. Commentators describe this as a 'darkness so thick that not even a single ray of light appeared.' It's a lament not just about physical suffering, but about feeling completely cut off from God's guidance and favor, a feeling many believers experience in their darkest moments.
