Chapter 88

1


 

  A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee:  

 

 

-

2


 

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

 

 

-

3


 

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

 

 

-

4


 

  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath] no strength:  

 

 

-

5


 

  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.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. Selah.  

 

 

-

8


 

  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.  

 

 

-

9


 

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

 

 

-

10


 

  Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? Selah.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy faithfulness in destruction?  

 

 

-

12


 

  Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?  

 

 

-

13


 

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

 

 

-

14


 

  LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?  

 

 

-

15


 

  I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up: [while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.  

 

 

-

17


 

  They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine acquaintance into darkness.
