Psalms 88:5-11

⁵I am abandoned among the dead, lying like a corpse in the grave, forgotten and beyond your care.

⁶You have placed me in a deep pit, in the depths of darkness.

⁷Your hostility crushes me; you are drowning me under your crashing waves. Selah.

⁸You have made my friends avoid me by making me look repulsive to them. I'm trapped, I can't go out.

⁹I've cried my eyes out begging you every day for your help, Lord, holding out my hands to you.

¹⁰Do you do miracles among the dead? Do the dead stand up to praise you? Selah.

¹¹Your faithful love—is it mentioned in the grave? Your trustworthiness—is it discussed in the place of destruction?
