Psalms:88

Seeker Overlay ON

* O Jehovah the God of my salvation , I have cried out day and night before You . * Let my prayer come before You ; extend Your ear to my cry . * For my soul is full of evil , and my life draws near to Sheol . * I am reckoned with those who go down to the pit ; I am like a man with no strength , * free among the dead , like the slain who lie in the grave , whom You remember no more , and who have been cut off from Your hand . * You have laid me in the lowest pit , in darkness , in the depths . * Your wrath has leaned upon me , and You have afflicted me with all Your waves . Selah * You have removed my acquaintances far from me ; You have made me an abomination to them ; I am shut up , and I cannot go out ; * my eye has become faint because of affliction . Jehovah , I have called daily upon You ; I have stretched out my hands unto You . * Will You work wonders for the dead ? Shall the dead arise and give thanks to You ? Selah * Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave ? Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon ? * Shall Your wonders be known in the dark ? And Your righteousness in the land of oblivion ? * But unto You I have cried out , O Jehovah , and in the morning my prayer comes before You . * Jehovah , why do You cast off my soul ? Why do You hide Your face from me ? * I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth ; I have suffered Your terrors ; I am perplexed . * Your fury has passed over me ; Your terrors have cut me off . * They have encompassed me like water all day long ; they have engulfed me altogether . * Lover and friend You have removed far from me , and my acquaintances into darkness .
