88:1
LORD God, my savior, I cry out all day, and at night I come before you. |
88:2
Hear my prayer; listen to my cry for help! |
88:3
So many troubles have fallen on me that I am close to death. |
88:4
I am like all others who are about to die; all my strength is gone. |
88:5
I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the slain lying in their graves,
those you have forgotten completely, who are beyond
your help. |
88:6
You have thrown me into the depths of the tomb, into the darkest and deepest
pit. |
88:7
Your anger lies heavy on me, and I am crushed beneath its waves. |
88:8
You have caused my friends to abandon me; you have made me repulsive to them.
I am closed in and cannot escape; |
88:9
my eyes are weak from suffering. LORD, every day I call to you and lift my
hands to you in prayer. |
88:10
Do you perform miracles for the dead? Do they rise up and praise you? |
88:11
Is your constant love spoken of in the grave or your faithfulness in the
place of destruction? |
88:12
Are your miracles seen in that place of darkness or your goodness in the land
of the forgotten? |
88:13
LORD, I call to you for help; every morning I pray to you. |
88:14
Why do you reject me, LORD? Why do you turn away from me? |
88:15
Ever since I was young, I have suffered and been near death; I am worn out
from the burden of your punishments. |
88:16
Your furious anger crushes me; your terrible attacks destroy me. |
88:17
All day long they surround me like a flood; they close in on me from every
side. |
88:18
You have made even my closest friends abandon me, and darkness is my only
companion. |
