Chapter 88
Psal GodsWord 88:1  O LORD God, my savior, I cry out to you during the day and at night.
Psal GodsWord 88:2  Let my prayer come into your presence. Turn your ear to hear my cries.
Psal GodsWord 88:3  My soul is filled with troubles, and my life comes closer to the grave.
Psal GodsWord 88:4  I am numbered with those who go into the pit. I am like a man without any strength--
Psal GodsWord 88:5  abandoned with the dead, like those who have been killed and lie in graves, like those whom you no longer remember, who are cut off from your power.
Psal GodsWord 88:6  You have put me in the bottom of the pit--in deep, dark places.
Psal GodsWord 88:7  Your rage lies heavily on me. You make all your waves pound on me. Selah
Psal GodsWord 88:8  You have taken my friends far away from me. You made me disgusting to them. I'm shut in, and I can't get out.
Psal GodsWord 88:9  My eyes grow weak because of my suffering. All day long I call out to you, O LORD. I stretch out my hands to you in prayer.
Psal GodsWord 88:10  Will you perform miracles for those who are dead? Will the spirits of the dead rise and give thanks to you? Selah
Psal GodsWord 88:11  Will anyone tell about your mercy in Sheol or about your faithfulness in Abaddon?
Psal GodsWord 88:12  Will anyone know about your miracles in that dark place or about your righteousness in the place where forgotten people live?
Psal GodsWord 88:13  I cry out to you for help, O LORD, and in the morning my prayer will come into your presence.
Psal GodsWord 88:14  Why do you reject my soul, O LORD? Why do you hide your face from me?
Psal GodsWord 88:15  Ever since I was young, I have been suffering and near death. I have endured your terrors, and now I am in despair.
Psal GodsWord 88:16  Your burning anger has swept over me. Your terrors have destroyed me.
Psal GodsWord 88:17  They swirl around me all day long like water. They surround me on all sides.
Psal GodsWord 88:18  You have taken my loved ones and friends far away from me. Darkness is my only friend!
