Psalms 88
1
I have cried day and night before you.
2
Turn your ear to my cry.
3
My life draws near to Sheol.
4
I am like a man who has no help,
5
They are cut off from your hand.
6
in the darkest depths.
7
You have afflicted me with all your waves.
8
I am confined, and I can’t escape.
9
I have spread out my hands to you.
10
Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you?
11
Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
12
Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13
In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
14
Why do you hide your face from me?
15
While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
16
Your terrors have cut me off.
17
They completely engulfed me.
18
and my friends into darkness.
