Psalms 88

New Book or Previous Chapter - Next Chapter - Previous Book - Next Book
 
88:1  O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
88:2  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
88:3  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
88:4  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
88:5  Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
88:6  Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
88:7  Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
88:8  Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
88:9  Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
88:10  Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
88:11  Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
88:12  Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
88:13  But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
88:14  Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
88:15  I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
88:16  Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
88:17  They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
88:18  Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
