Psalms 88:9-14

9My 1eye grows dim from misery; I have 2called upon You every day, Lord; I have 3spread out my 4hands to You.

10Will You perform wonders for the dead? Or will 5the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah11Will Your graciousness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in 6Abaddon?12Will Your wonders be made known in the 7darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13But I, Lord, have cried out 8to You for help, And 9in the morning my prayer comes before You.14Lord, why 10do You reject my soul? Why do You 11hide Your face from me?
