# Chapter 88
|
|
1 O Lord, God of my salvation,
|
|
I have cried out day and night before You.
|
|
2 Let my prayer come before You;
|
|
Incline Your ear to my cry.
|
|
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
|
|
And my life draws near to the grave.
|
|
4 I am counted with those who go down to the pit;
|
|
I am like a man who has no strength,
|
|
5 Adrift among the dead,
|
|
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
|
|
Whom You remember no more,
|
|
And who are cut off from Your hand.
|
|
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,
|
|
In darkness, in the depths.
|
|
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
|
|
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah
|
|
8 You have put away my acquaintances far from me;
|
|
You have made me an abomination to them;
|
|
I am shut up, and I cannot get out;
|
|
9 My eye wastes away because of affliction.
|
|
Lord, I have called daily upon You;
|
|
I have stretched out my hands to You.
|
|
10 Will You work wonders for the dead?
|
|
Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah
|
|
11 Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
|
|
Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?
|
|
12 Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?
|
|
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
13 But to You I have cried out, O Lord,
|
|
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
|
|
14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul?
|
|
Why do You hide Your face from me?
|
|
15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;
|
|
I suffer Your terrors;
|
|
I am distraught.
|
|
16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me;
|
|
Your terrors have cut me off.
|
|
17 They came around me all day long like water;
|
|
They engulfed me altogether.
|
|
18 Loved one and friend You have put far from me,
|
|
And my acquaintances into darkness. |
