| Psalms 88: (ASV) |
| 1) O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee. |
| 2) Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry. |
| 3) For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol. |
| 4) I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help, |
| 5) Cast off 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 dark places, in the deeps. |
| 7) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. [Selah] |
| 8) Thou hast put 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 wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee. |
| 10) Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased 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, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee. |
| 14) Jehovah, 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 is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. |
| 17) They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together. |
| 18) Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. |
