Psm88:1 O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.
Psm88:2 Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry!
Psm88:3 For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.
Psm88:4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,
Psm88:5 Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand.
Psm88:6 You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
Psm88:7 Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.
Psm88:8 You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out.
Psm88:9 My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon You every day, O Lord; I have spread out my hands to You.
Psm88:10 Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.
Psm88:11 Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
Psm88:12 Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psm88:13 But I, O Lord, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
Psm88:14 O Lord, why do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?
Psm88:15 I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.
Psm88:16 Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
Psm88:17 They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.
Psm88:18 You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.
Psm88:19
