Psalm 88

1 LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.

1 LORD, God of my salvation, by day I cry out, even at night, before you—

2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.

2 let my prayer reach you! Turn your ear to my outcry

3 I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.

3 because my whole being is filled with distress; my life is at the very brink of hell.

4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.

4 I am considered as one of those plummeting into the pit. I am like those who are beyond help,

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.

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.

6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

6 You placed me down in the deepest pit, in places dark and deep.

7 Your wrath lies heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.

7 Your anger smothers me; you subdue me with it, wave after wave. Selah

8 You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape;

8 You've made my friends distant. You've made me disgusting to them. I can't escape. I'm trapped!

9 my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you.

9 My eyes are tired of looking at my suffering. I've been calling out to you every day, LORD— I've had my hands outstretched to you!

10 Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?

10 Do you work wonders for the dead? Do ghosts rise up and give you thanks? Selah

11 Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction ?

11 Is your faithful love proclaimed in the grave, your faithfulness in the underworld?

12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?

12 Are your wonders known in the land of darkness, your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

13 But I cry to you for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you.

13 But I cry out to you, LORD! My prayer meets youfirst thing in the morning!

14 Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?

14 Why do you reject my very being, LORD? Why do you hide your face from me?

15 From my youth I have suffered and been close to death; I have borne your terrors and am in despair.

15 Since I was young I've been afflicted, I've been dying. I've endured your terrors. I'm lifeless.

16 Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.

16 Your fiery anger has overwhelmed me; your terrors have destroyed me.

17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me.

17 They surround me all day long like water; they engulf me completely.

18 You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend.

18 You've made my loved ones and companions distant. My only friend is darkness.
