Psalms 88

The Message Bible MSG

1 God, you're my last chance of the day. I spend the night on my knees before you.

2 Put me on your salvation agenda; take notes on the trouble I'm in.

3 I've had my fill of trouble; I'm camped on the edge of hell.

4 I'm written off as a lost cause, one more statistic, a hopeless case.

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.

6 You've dropped me into a bottomless pit, sunk me in a pitch-black abyss.

7 I'm battered senseless by your rage, relentlessly pounded by your waves of anger.

8 You turned my friends against me, made me horrible to them. I'm caught in a maze and can't find my way out,

9 blinded by tears of pain and frustration. I call to you, God; all day I call. I wring my hands, I plead for help.

10 Are the dead a live audience for your miracles? Do ghosts ever join the choirs that praise you?

11 Does your love make any difference in a graveyard? Is your faithful presence noticed in the corridors of hell?

12 Are your marvelous wonders ever seen in the dark, your righteous ways noticed in the Land of No Memory?

13 I'm standing my ground, God, shouting for help, at my prayers every morning, on my knees each daybreak.

14 Why, God, do you turn a deaf ear? Why do you make yourself scarce?

15 For as long as I remember I've been hurting; I've taken the worst you can hand out, and I've had it.

16 Your wildfire anger has blazed through my life; I'm bleeding, black and blue.

17 You've attacked me fiercely from every side, raining down blows till I'm nearly dead.

18 You made lover and neighbor alike dump me; the only friend I have left is Darkness.

King James Version KJV

1 O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
