Psalms 88:1-6

BBE

NIV

1 <A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil. Of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:
1 LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2 Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:
2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld.
3 I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4 I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5 My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.
5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
6 You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
