Context of Psalms 88:7
5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth heavy upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. 8Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 9My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.
