Chapter 88
Psal BBE 88:1  O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:
Psal BBE 88:2  Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:
Psal BBE 88:3  For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld.
Psal BBE 88:4  I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:
Psal BBE 88:5  My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.
Psal BBE 88:6  You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.
Psal BBE 88:7  The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah.)
Psal BBE 88:8  You have sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out.
Psal BBE 88:9  My eyes are wasting away because of my trouble: Lord, my cry has gone up to you every day, my hands are stretched out to you.
Psal BBE 88:10  Will you do works of wonder for the dead? will the shades come back to give you praise? (Selah.)
Psal BBE 88:11  Will the story of your mercy be given in the house of the dead? will news of your faith come to the place of destruction?
Psal BBE 88:12  May there be knowledge of your wonders in the dark? or of your righteousness where memory is dead?
Psal BBE 88:13  But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.
Psal BBE 88:14  Lord, why have you sent away my soul? why is your face covered from me?
Psal BBE 88:15  I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.
Psal BBE 88:16  The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.
Psal BBE 88:17  They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me.
Psal BBE 88:18  You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.
