Psalms 88:1-6

MSG

NIV

1 God, you're my last chance of the day. I spend the night on my knees before you.
1 LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2 Put me on your salvation agenda; take notes on the trouble I'm in.
2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 I've had my fill of trouble; I'm camped on the edge of hell.
3 I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4 I'm written off as a lost cause, one more statistic, a hopeless case.
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5 Abandoned as already dead, one more body in a stack of corpses, And not so much as a gravestone - I'm a black hole in oblivion.
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've dropped me into a bottomless pit, sunk me in a pitch-black abyss.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
