Psalms 88:2-10

²(88:3) Let my prayer come unto thy presence; incline thy ear unto my entreaty.

³(88:4) For my soul is sated with troubles; and my life draweth nigh unto the nether world.

⁴(88:5) I am counted with those that descend into the pit; I am become as a man without vigor:

⁵(88:6) Free among the dead, like the slain that dwell in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; and those that are cut off by thy hand.

⁶(88:7) Thou hast laid me in the pit of the lower world, in darkness, in the depths.

⁷(88:8) Upon me lieth heavily thy fury, and with all thy billows hast thou afflicted me. Selah.

⁸(88:9) Thou hast removed my acquaintances far from me; thou hast rendered me an abomination unto them: I am imprisoned, and I cannot go forth.

⁹(88:10) My eye languisheth by reason of affliction: I call on thee, O Lord, every day, I stretch out unto thee my hands.

¹⁰(88:11) Wilt thou display wonders to the dead? shall the departed arise and thank thee? Selah.
