Psalms 88:9-14

9My 1eyeH5869 has wastedH1669 awayH1669 becauseH4480 of afflictionH6040; I have 2calledH7121 upon You everyH3605 dayH3117, O LordH3068; I have 3spreadH7849 out my 4handsH3709 to You.

10Will You performH6213 wondersH6382 for the deadH4191? Will 5the 6departedH7496 spiritsH7496 riseH6965 and praiseH3034 You? SelahH5542.11Will Your lovingkindnessH2617 be declaredH5608 in the graveH6913, Your faithfulnessH530 in 7AbaddonH11?12Will Your wondersH6382 be madeH3045 knownH3045 in the 8darknessH2822? And Your 9righteousnessH6666 in the landH776 of forgetfulnessH5388?

13But I, O LordH3068, have criedH7768 out 10to You for helpH7768, And 11in the morningH1242 my prayerH8605 comesH6923 beforeH6923 You.14O LordH3068, whyH4100 12do You rejectH2186 my soulH5315? Why do You 13hideH5641 Your faceH6440 from me?
