Psalms 88:1-7 ▼

1 A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. ”8224; LORD, God of my salvation, I cry out before you day and night.

2 May my prayer reach your presence; listen to my cry.

3 For I have had enough troubles, and my life is near Sheol.

4 I am counted among those going down to the Pit. I am like a man without strength,

5 abandoned among the dead. I am like the slain lying in the grave, whom you no longer remember, and who are cut off from your care.

6 You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths.

7 Your wrath weighs heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. Selah
