Psalm 88:8-16

View Full Chapter

8You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape;

9my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you.

10Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?

11Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction Hebrew Abaddon ?

12Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?

13But I cry to you for help, LORD ; in the morning my prayer comes before you.

14Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?

15From my youth I have suffered and been close to death; I have borne your terrors and am in despair.

16Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.
