Psalms 88:10-18

10Will you perform miracles for those who are dead? Will the spirits of the dead rise and give thanks to you? Selah

11Will anyone tell about your mercy in Sheol or about your faithfulness in Abaddon?

12Will anyone know about your miracles in that dark place or about your righteousness in the place where forgotten people live?

13I cry out to you for help, O Lord, and in the morning my prayer will come into your presence.

14Why do you reject my soul, O Lord? Why do you hide your face from me?

15Ever since I was young, I have been suffering and near death. I have endured your terrors, and now I am in despair.

16Your burning anger has swept over me. Your terrors have destroyed me.

17They swirl around me all day long like water. They surround me on all sides.

18You have taken my loved ones and friends far away from me. Darkness is my only friend!
