Psalm 88

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

1 Lord God, my savior, I cry out all day, and at night I come before you.

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

2 Hear my prayer; listen to my cry for help!

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

3 So many troubles have fallen on me that I am close to death.

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

4 I am like all others who are about to die; all my strength is gone.

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 I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the slain lying in their graves, those you have forgotten completely, who are beyond your help.

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

6 You have thrown me into the depths of the tomb, into the darkest and deepest pit.

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

7 Your anger lies heavy on me, and I am crushed beneath its waves.

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

8 You have caused my friends to abandon me; you have made me repulsive to them. I am closed in and cannot escape;

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 weak from suffering. Lord, every day I call to you and lift my hands to you in prayer.

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

10 Do you perform miracles for the dead? Do they rise up and praise you?

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

11 Is your constant love spoken of in the grave or your faithfulness in the place of destruction?

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

12 Are your miracles seen in that place of darkness or your goodness in the land of the forgotten?

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

13 Lord, I call to you for help; every morning I pray to you.

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

14 Why do you reject me, Lord? Why do you turn away from me?

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

15 Ever since I was young, I have suffered and been near death; I am worn out from the burden of your punishments.

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

16 Your furious anger crushes me; your terrible attacks destroy me.

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

17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they close in on me from every side.

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

18 You have made even my closest friends abandon me, and darkness is my only companion.
