88:1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

88:2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

88:3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

88:4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

88:5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

88:7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

88:8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

88:9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

88:10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
