Psalms 88

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 Why, LORD, do you reject me and 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.

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

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

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

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (87-1) <A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.> (87-2) O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.

2 (87-3) Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.

3 (87-4) For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.

4 (87-5) I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,

5 (87-6) Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

6 (87-7) They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.

7 (87-8) Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.

8 (87-9) Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:

9 (87-10) My eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.

10 (87-11) Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?

11 (87-12) Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?

12 (87-13) Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?

13 (87-14) But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.

14 (87-15) Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?

15 (87-16) I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.

16 (87-17) Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.

17 (87-18) They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.

18 (87-19) Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
