Psalms 88:4-11

⁴I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,

⁵Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

⁶Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.

⁷Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah

⁸Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁹Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

¹⁰Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah

¹¹Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?
