Psalms 88:9-18
-
9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
-
10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
-
11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
-
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
-
13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
-
14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
-
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
-
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
-
17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
-
18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
