Psalms 88:1-9
112O Lord, the 3God of my salvation, I have 4cried out by day and in the night before You.2Let my prayer 5come before You; 6Incline Your ear to my cry!3For my 7soul has 8had enough troubles, And 9my life has drawn near to 10Sheol.4I am reckoned among those who 11go down to the pit; I have become like a man 12without strength,513Forsaken 14among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are 15cut off from Your hand.6You have put me in 16the lowest pit, In 17dark places, in the 18depths.7Your wrath 19has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with 20all Your waves. 21Selah.8You have removed 22my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an 2324object of loathing to them; I am 25shut up and cannot go out.9My 26eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have 27called upon You every day, O Lord; I have 28spread out my 29hands to You.
