Psa.|88:Title|-|A Song; a |a|Psalm of the sons of Korah. To the choir director: according to |*|mahalath leannoth. A |**|Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
Psa.|88:1|-|O Jehovah, the God of my |1|salvation,I have cried out |a|by day and in the night before You.
Psa.|88:2|-|May my prayer come before You;Incline Your ear to my cry.
Psa.|88:3|-|For my soul is full of troubles,And my life draws near to Sheol.
Psa.|88:4|-|I am accounted among those who go down into the pit;I am like a man without any |1|help,
Psa.|88:5|-|Abandoned among the dead,Like the slain that lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,And they are cut off from Your hand.
Psa.|88:6|-|You have put me in the lowest pit,In the dark places, in the depths.
Psa.|88:7|-|Your wrath lies heavily upon me,And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah
Psa.|88:8|-|You have put my acquaintances |a|far from me;You have made me an abomination to them.
I am shut in and cannot go out.
Psa.|88:9|-|My eye wastes away at the affliction;I have called out to You, O Jehovah, every day;
I have spread out my hands to You.
Psa.|88:10|-|Will You perform wonders for the dead?Will the |a|deceased rise up and praise You? Selah
Psa.|88:11|-|Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave,Or Your faithfulness in |1|Abaddon?
Psa.|88:12|-|Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness,Or Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psa.|88:13|-|But I, O Jehovah, have cried out to You;And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
Psa.|88:14|-|Why, O Jehovah, have You rejected my soul?Why do You hide Your face from me?
Psa.|88:15|-|I have been afflicted and about to die since my youth;I bear Your terrors; I am |1|overwhelmed.
Psa.|88:16|-|Your fierce wrath has gone over me;Your terrors have cut me off.
Psa.|88:17|-|They surrounded me like water all day long;They altogether encompassed me.
Psa.|88:18|-|You have put far from meLover and friend;
My acquaintances are in darkness.
