Psalm 88

1 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
Compare verse
2 Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear to my cry;
Compare verse
3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws near to the grave.
Compare verse
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:
Compare verse
5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
Compare verse
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Compare verse
7 Your wrath lies hard on me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
Compare verse
8 You have put away my acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination to them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
Compare verse
9 My eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily on you, I have stretched out my hands to you.
Compare verse
10 Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah.
Compare verse
11 Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?
Compare verse
12 Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Compare verse
13 But to you have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
Compare verse
14 LORD, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?
Compare verse
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.
Compare verse
16 Your fierce wrath goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.
Compare verse
17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
Compare verse
18 Lover and friend have you put far from me, and my acquaintance into darkness.
