Psalms:88

Seeker Overlay ON

* O LORD , God of my salvation ! To thee do I cry by day , And by night is my prayer before thee ! * Let my supplication come before thee ; Incline thine ear to my cry ! * For my soul is full of misery , And my life draweth near to the underworld . * I am counted with those who are going down to the pit ; I am like one who hath no strength . * I am left to myself among the dead , Like the slain who lie in the grave , Whom thou no more rememberest , And who are cut off from thy hand . * Thou hast placed me in a deep pit , In a dark and deep abyss . * Thy wrath presseth hard upon me , And thou afflictest me with all thy waves ! * Thou hast put mine acquaintances far from me , Yea , thou hast made me their abhorrence : I am shut up , and cannot go forth . * Mine eyes languish by reason of my affliction . I call upon thee daily , O LORD ! To thee do I stretch out my hands ! * Canst thou show wonders to the dead ? Shall the dead arise , and praise thee ? * Shall thy goodness be declared in the grave , Or thy faithfulness in the place of corruption ? * Shall thy wonders be known in the dark , And thy justice in the land of forgetfulness ? * To thee do I cry , O LORD ! In the morning doth my cry come before thee . * Why , O LORD ! dost thou cast me off ? Why hidest thou thy face from me ? * I have been afflicted and languishing from my youth ; I suffer thy terrors , and am distracted . * Thy fierce wrath overwhelmeth me ; Thy terrors utterly destroy me . * They surround me daily like water ; They compass me about together . * Lover and friend hast thou put far from me ; My acquaintances are withdrawn from my sight .
