Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 88:1-7

1 1 2O LORD, the God of my salvation,day and night I cry out before You.2May my prayer come before You;incline Your ear to my cry.3For my soul is full of troubles,and my life draws near to Sheol.4I am counted among those descending to the Pit.I am like a man without strength.

5I am forsaken among the dead,like the slain who lie in the grave,whom You remember no more,who are cut off from Your care.

6You have laid me in the lowest Pit,in the darkest of the depths.7Your wrath weighs heavily upon me;all Your waves have submerged me.Selah
