Psalms 88:3-8

3For my 1soul has 2had enough troubles, And 3my life has drawn near to 4Sheol.4I am reckoned among those who 5go down to the pit; I have become like a man 6without strength,5 7Forsaken 8among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are 9cut off from Your hand.6You have put me in 10the lowest pit, In 11dark places, in the 12depths.7Your wrath 13has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with 14all Your waves. 15Selah.8You have removed 16my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an 17 18object of loathing to them; I am 19shut up and cannot go out.
