Psalms:88
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O lord God of my salvation ,
I have cried day and night before you :
*
Let my prayer come before you :
incline your ear to my cry ;
*
For my soul is full of troubles :
and my life draws near to the grave .
*
I am counted with them that go down into the pit :
I am as a man that has no strength :
*
Free among the dead ,
like the slain that lie in the grave ,
whom you remember no more :
and they are cut off from your hand .
*
You have laid me in the lowest pit ,
in darkness ,
in the deeps .
*
Your wrath lies hard on me ,
and you have afflicted me with all your waves .
Selah .
*
You have put away my acquaintance far from me ;
you have made me an abomination to them :
I am shut up ,
and I cannot come forth .
*
My eye mourns by reason of affliction :
LORD ,
I have called daily on you ,
I have stretched out my hands to you .
*
Will you show wonders to the dead ?
shall the dead arise and praise you ?
Selah .
*
Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave ?
or your faithfulness in destruction ?
*
Shall your wonders be known in the dark ?
and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness ?
*
But to you have I cried ,
O LORD ;
and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you .
*
LORD ,
why cast you off my soul ?
why hide you your face from me ?
*
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up :
while I suffer your terrors I am distracted .
*
Your fierce wrath goes over me ;
your terrors have cut me off .
*
They came round about me daily like water ;
they compassed me about together .
*
Lover and friend have you put far from me ,
and my acquaintance into darkness .
