Psalms 88:1-9

I Cry Out Day and Night Before You

A Song. A Psalm of ^athe Sons of Korah. To the choirmaster: according to ^bMahalath Leannoth. A Maskil ^{▼▼Probably musical or liturgical terms} of ^dHeman the Ezrahite.

1 O Lord, ^eGod of my salvation,
I ^fcry out day and night before you.
2 Let my prayer come before you;
^gincline your ear to my cry!
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and ^hmy life draws near to ⁱSheol.
4 I am counted among those who ^jgo down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
5 like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^kyou remember no more,
for they are ^lcut off from your hand.
6 You have put me in ^mthe depths of the pit,
in the ⁿregions dark and ^odeep.
7 Your wrath ^plies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with ^qall your waves. Selah
8 You have caused ^rmy companions to shun me;
you have made me ^sa horror ^{▼▼Or an abomination} to them.
I am ^ushut in so that I cannot escape;
9 ^vmy eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
I ^wspread out my hands to you.
