88:12 Are your amazing deeds experienced 1 in the dark region, 2
or your deliverance in the land of oblivion? 3
1 tn Heb “known.”
2 tn Heb “darkness,” here a title for Sheol.
3 tn Heb “forgetfulness.” The noun, which occurs only here in the OT, is derived from a verbal root meaning “to forget.”
sn The rhetorical questions in vv. 10-12 expect the answer, “Of course not!”
