Psalms 88:1-9

112O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of my salvationH3444, I have criedH6817 dayH3117 and nightH3915 before thee:

2Let my prayerH8605 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto my cryH7440;

3For my soulH5315 is fullH7646 of troublesH7451: and my lifeH2416 draweth nighH5060 unto the graveH7585.

4I am countedH2803 with them that go downH3381 into the pitH953: I am as a manH1397 that hath no strengthH353:

5FreeH2670 among the deadH4191, like the slainH2491 that lieH7901 in the graveH6913, whom thou rememberestH2142 no more: and they are cut offH1504 from thy handH3027.3

6Thou hast laidH7896 me in the lowestH8482 pitH953, in darknessH4285, in the deepsH4688.

7Thy wrathH2534 lieth hardH5564 upon me, and thou hast afflictedH6031 me with all thy wavesH4867. SelahH5542.

8Thou hast put awayH7368 mine acquaintanceH3045 farH7368 from me; thou hast madeH7896 me an abominationH8441 unto them: I am shut upH3607, and I cannot come forthH3318.

9Mine eyeH5869 mournethH1669 by reason of afflictionH6040: YhwhH3068, I have calledH7121 dailyH3117 upon thee, I have stretched outH7849 my handsH3709 unto thee.
