Psalms 88:11

To proclaim God's lovingkindness and faithfulness is the delight of His people (Psalms 40:10; Psalms 92:2), but in the grave they will neither have cause nor power to do it. These two attributes, so often coupled together, are the keynote of Psalms 89.

-Destruction," Heb. Abaddon, is almost a proper name for Sheol as the place of ruin: elsewhere only in the -Wisdom literature," Job 26:6; Job 28:22; Job 31:12; Proverbs 15:11; Proverbs 27:20. Cp. Revelation 9:11, where it is the name of "the angel of the abyss," Gk. Apollyon, -the Destroyer."
