Psalms 88:1-3

¹A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. For the music director. To the tune “Mahalath Leannoth.” A maskil by Heman the Ezrahite Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out to you day and night.

²Please listen to my prayer; hear my words as I plead with you.

³My life is full of troubles, and my death is approaching.
