Psalm 88

- A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah,
to the chief Musician upon Mahalath

Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.

O lord God of my salvation, I have
cried day and night before thee:

Let my prayer come before thee:
incline thine ear unto my cry;

For my soul is full of troubles: and
my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

I am counted with them that
go down into the pit: I am as

a man that hath no strength:

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.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest
pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou
hast afflicted me with all thy waves.

Selah.

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.

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction:
Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I

have stretched out my hands unto thee.

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?

shall the dead arise and praise thee?

Selah.

Shall thy lovingkindness
be declared in the grave?

or thy faithfulness in destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?

and thy righteousness in
the land of forgetfulness?

But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in
the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

Lord, why castest thou off my soul?

why hidest thou thy face from me?

I am afflicted and ready to die
from my youth up: while I suffer

thy terrors I am distracted.

Thy fierce wrath goeth over me;
thy terrors have cut me off.

They came round about me daily like
water; they compassed me about together.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from
me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
