19_PSA_88_01 A song [ or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [ And] night before thee:
19_PSA_88_02 let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
19_PSA_88_03 for my soul Is full of troubles: And my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
19_PSA_88_04 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as A man [ that hath] no strength:
19_PSA_88_05 free among the dead, like the slain that Lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: And they are cut off from thy hand.
19_PSA_88_06 thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
19_PSA_88_07 thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted [ me] with all thy waves. Selah.
19_PSA_88_08 thou 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.
19_PSA_88_09 mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
19_PSA_88_10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead Arise [ And] praise thee? Selah.
19_PSA_88_11 shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [ or] thy faithfulness in destruction?
19_PSA_88_12 shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
19_PSA_88_13 but unto thee have I cried, O LORD; And in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
19_PSA_88_14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [ why] hidest thou thy face from me?
19_PSA_88_15 I [ am] afflicted And ready to die from [ my] youth up: [ while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
19_PSA_88_16 thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
19_PSA_88_17 they came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
19_PSA_88_18 lover And friend hast thou put far from me, [ And] mine acquaintance into darkness.
