Context: נְשִׁיָּה (neshiyyah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a noun that conveys the idea of oblivion or forgetfulness. This term is notably used in Psalm 88:12, where the psalmist laments the condition of being forgotten by God and man alike, expressing a deep sense of despair and abandonment. The psalmist questions, "Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?" (Psalm 88:12, BSB). This rhetorical question underscores the fear of being cut off from God's presence and the community, highlighting the existential dread associated with being forgotten. The use of נְשִׁיָּה in this context serves to amplify the emotional intensity of the psalm, as it reflects a profound yearning for remembrance and divine intervention.
