Psalms 88:5-10

⁵Among the dead — free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.

⁶Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.

⁷Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And with all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.

⁸Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up — I go not forth.

⁹Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.

¹⁰To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.
