Psalms 88:11-18

¹¹(88:12) Shall thy kindness be related in the grave? thy faithfulness in the place of corruption?

¹²(88:13) Shall thy wonders be acknowledged in the darkness? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³(88:14) Yet I cry indeed aloud unto thee, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.

¹⁴(88:15) Why, O Lord, wilt thou cast off my soul? why wilt thou hide thy face from me?

¹⁵(88:16) I am afflicted and perishing from my youth up: I bear thy terrors, I am distracted.

¹⁶(88:17) Over me have the fires of thy wrath passed; thy terrors have destroyed me;

¹⁷(88:18) They encompass me like water all the time; they have closed in round about me together.

¹⁸(88:19) Thou hast removed far from me lover and friend, my acquaintances are in darkness.
