Psalm 88 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 88

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

thee:

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

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

the grave.

88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man

that hath no strength:

88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom

thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

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

thy waves. Selah.

88:8 Thou 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.

88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called

daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

88:10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and

praise thee? Selah.

88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy

faithfulness in destruction?

88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in

the land of forgetfulness?

88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my

prayer prevent thee.

88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face

from me?

88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer

thy terrors I am distracted.

88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me

about together.

88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine

acquaintance into darkness.
