Psalm 88A Cry of Desperation
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Lord, God of my salvation,
|
|
I cry out before you day and night.
|
|
|
|
2. May my prayer reach your presence;
|
|
listen to my cry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. For I have had enough troubles,
|
|
and my life is near Sheol.
|
|
|
|
4. I am counted among those going down to the Pit.
|
|
I am like a man without strength,
|
|
|
|
5. abandoned among the dead.
|
|
I am like the slain lying in the grave,
|
|
whom you no longer remember,
|
|
and who are
|
|
cut off from your care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit,
|
|
in the darkest places, in the depths.
|
|
|
|
7. Your wrath weighs heavily on me;
|
|
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.Selah
|
|
|
|
8. You have distanced my friends from me;
|
|
you have made me repulsive to them.
|
|
I am shut in and cannot go out.
|
|
|
|
9. My eyes are worn out from crying.
|
|
|
|
Lord, I cry out to you all day long;
|
|
I spread out my hands to you.
|
|
|
|
10. Do you work wonders for the dead?
|
|
Do departed spirits rise up to praise you?Selah
|
|
|
|
11. Will your faithful love be declared in the grave,
|
|
your faithfulness in Abaddon?
|
|
|
|
12. Will your wonders be known in the darkness
|
|
or your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
|
|
|
|
13. But I call to you for help,
|
|
Lord;
|
|
in the morning my prayer meets you.
|
|
|
|
14.
|
|
Lord, why do you reject me?
|
|
Why do you hide your face from me?
|
|
|
|
15. From my youth,
|
|
I have been suffering and near death.
|
|
I suffer your horrors; I am desperate.
|
|
|
|
16. Your wrath sweeps over me;
|
|
your terrors destroy me.
|
|
|
|
17. They surround me like water all day long;
|
|
they close in on me from every side.
|
|
|
|
18. You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;
|
|
darkness is my only friend.
