O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:Psalms 88:1

Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;Psalms 88:2

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.Psalms 88:3

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:Psalms 88:4

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.Psalms 88:5

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.Psalms 88:6

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.Psalms 88:7

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.Psalms 88:8

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.Psalms 88:9

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.Psalms 88:10

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?Psalms 88:11

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?Psalms 88:12

But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.Psalms 88:13

LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?Psalms 88:14

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.Psalms 88:15

Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.Psalms 88:16

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.Psalms 88:17

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.Psalms 88:18
