Psalms Chapter 88 (NASB)
undefined
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.
undefined
Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry!
undefined
For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.
undefined
I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,
undefined
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.
undefined
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
undefined
Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.
undefined
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.
undefined
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.
undefined
Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise [and] praise You? Selah.
undefined
Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
undefined
Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
undefined
But I, O LORD, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
undefined
O LORD, why do You reject my soul? [Why] do You hide Your face from me?
undefined
I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.
undefined
Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
undefined
They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.
undefined
You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are [in] darkness.
