I Cry Out Day and Night Before You
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 88
|
|
1. O LORD, God of my salvation,
|
|
I cry 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 Sheol.
|
|
|
|
4. I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
|
|
I am a man who has no strength,
|
|
|
|
5. like one set loose among the dead,
|
|
like the slain that lie in the grave,
|
|
like those whom you remember no more,
|
|
for they are cut off from your hand.
|
|
|
|
6. You have put me in the depths of the pit,
|
|
in the regions dark and deep.
|
|
|
|
7. Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
|
|
and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah
|
|
|
|
8. You have caused my companions to shun me;
|
|
you have made me a horror to them.
|
|
I am shut in so that I cannot escape;
|
|
|
|
9. my eye grows dim through sorrow.
|
|
Every day I call upon you, O LORD;
|
|
I spread out my hands to you.
|
|
|
|
10. Do you work wonders for the dead?
|
|
Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
|
|
|
|
11. Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
|
|
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
|
|
|
|
12. Are your wonders known in the darkness,
|
|
or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
|
|
13. But I, O LORD, cry to you;
|
|
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
|
|
|
|
14. O LORD, why do you cast my soul away?
|
|
Why do you hide your face from me?
|
|
|
|
15. Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
|
|
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
|
|
|
|
16. Your wrath has swept over me;
|
|
your dreadful assaults destroy me.
|
|
|
|
17. They surround me like a flood all day long;
|
|
they close in on me together.
|
|
|
|
18. You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;
|
|
my companions have become darkness.
