NASB Bible

Psalms 88

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A  aMaskil of Heman  bthe Ezrahite.

1

O LORD, the  aGod of my salvation, I have  bcried out by day and in the night before You.

2

Let my prayer  acome before You;  bIncline Your ear to my cry!

3

For my  asoul has  1had enough troubles, And  bmy life has drawn near to  2Sheol.

4

I am reckoned among those who  ago down to the pit; I have become like a man  bwithout strength,

5

 1Forsaken  aamong the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are  bcut off from Your hand.

6

You have put me in  athe lowest pit, In  bdark places, in the  cdepths.

7

Your wrath  ahas rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with  ball Your waves.  1Selah.

8

You have removed  amy acquaintances far from me; You have made me an  1 bobject of loathing to them; I am  cshut up and cannot go out.

9

My  aeye has wasted away because of affliction; I have  bcalled upon You every day, O LORD; I have  cspread out my  1hands to You.

10

Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will  athe  1departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

11

Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in  1Abaddon?

12

Will Your wonders be made known in the  adarkness? And Your  1righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13

But I, O LORD, have cried out  ato You for help, And  bin the morning my prayer comes before You.

14

O LORD, why  ado You reject my soul? Why do You  bhide Your face from me?

15

I was afflicted and  aabout to die from my youth on; I suffer  bYour terrors; I am  1overcome.

16

Your  aburning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have  1 bdestroyed me.

17

They have  asurrounded me  blike water all day long; They have  cencompassed me altogether.

18

You have removed  alover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.
