Psalm 88
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
O Lord, the God who saves me,
day and night I cry out before you.
2
May my prayer come before you;
turn your ear to my cry.
3
For my soul is full of trouble
and my life draws near the grave.
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am like a man without strength.
5
I am set apart with the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
who are cut off from your care.
6
You have put me in the lowest pit,
in the darkest depths.
7
Your wrath lies heavily upon me;
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. Selah
