26 Psalms 88:1

26 Psalms 88:1-18 ¹O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁸Thou 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have cried day and night before thee.

²Let my prayer enter into thy presence;

Incline thine ear unto my cry.

³For my soul is full of troubles,

And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

⁴I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit;

I am as a man that hath no help,

⁵Cast off among the dead,

Like the slain that lie in the grave,

Whom thou rememberest no more,

And they are cut off from thy hand.

⁶Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,

In dark places, in the deeps.

⁷Thy wrath lieth hard upon me,

And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.

Selah

⁸Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me;

Thou hast made me an abomination unto them:

I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁹Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction:

I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah;

I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

¹⁰Wilt thou show wonders to the dead?

Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee?

Selah

¹¹Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave?

Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

¹²Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?

And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried;

And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.

¹⁴Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul?

Why hidest thou thy face from me?

¹⁵I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:

While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

¹⁶Thy fierce wrath is gone over me;

Thy terrors have cut me off.

¹⁷They came round about me like water all the day long;

They compassed me about together.

¹⁸Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,(ASV)

26 Psalms 88:1-18 ¹O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee; ²Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my supplication; ³For my soul is full of troubles and my life draws near to Sheol. ⁴I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am like a man who has no strength; ⁵Like a nobleman abandoned among the dead, like the slain that lie down in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; they are lost to thee. ⁶Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the shadow of death. ⁷Thy wrath rests hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. ⁸Thou hast put away mine acquaintances far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them; I am shut up and I cannot come forth. ⁹Mine eyes are weakened from weeping; LORD, I have called daily upon thee; I have stretched out my hands to thee.

¹⁰¶ Behold thou wilt show wonders to the dead; the mighty ones shall rise and praise thee. ¹¹They that are in the graves shall declare thy lovingkindness, and thy faithfulness in destruction. ¹²Thy wonders shall be known in the dark, and thy righteousness in the land that has been forsaken. ¹³But to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come early before thee. ¹⁴O LORD, forsake not my soul, and turn not thy face from me. ¹⁵I am poor and afflicted from my youth; I have been proud, but now I am humbled and crushed. ¹⁶Thy fierce wrath goes over me; thy terrors have silenced me. ¹⁷They came round about me daily like water; they set themselves in array against me. ¹⁸Friends and neighbors thou hast put far from me, and mine acquaintances thou hast kept away from me.

[Selah] ⁹Thou hast caused my companions to shun me; thou hast made me a thing of horror to them. I am shut in so that I cannot escape; ¹⁰my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call upon thee, O LORD; I spread out my hands to thee. ¹¹Dost thou work wonders for the dead? Do the shades rise up to praise thee? [Selah] ¹²Is thy steadfast love declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in Abaddon? ¹³Are thy wonders known in the darkness, or thy saving help in the land of forgetfulness? ¹⁴But I, O LORD, cry to thee; in the morning my prayer comes before thee. ¹⁵O LORD, why dost thou cast me off? Why dost thou hide thy face from me? ¹⁶Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer thy terrors; I am helpless. ¹⁷Thy wrath has swept over me; thy dread assaults destroy me. ¹⁸They surround me like a flood all day long; they close in upon me together.
