Psalms 88:1 In-Context

1 LORD, God of my salvation, by day I cry out, even at night, before you—
2 let my prayer reach you! Turn your ear to my outcry
3 because my whole being is filled with distress; my life is at the very brink of hell.
4 I am considered as one of those plummeting into the pit. I am like those who are beyond help,
5 drifting among the dead lying in the grave, like dead bodies— those you don't remember anymore, those who are cut off from your power.
