88 O Lord, the ^(A)God of my salvation,
I have ^(B)cried out by day and in the night before You.
² Let my prayer ^(C)come before You;
^(D)Incline Your ear to my cry!
³ For my ^(E)soul has ^[c]had enough troubles,
And ^(F)my life has drawn near to ^[d]Sheol.
⁴ I am reckoned among those who ^(G)go down to the pit;
I have become like a man ^(H)without strength,
^5 [e]Forsaken ^(I)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And they are ^(J)cut off from Your hand.
⁶ You have put me in ^(K)the lowest pit,
In ^(L)dark places, in the ^(M)depths.
⁷ Your wrath ^(N)has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with ^(O)all Your waves. ^[f]Selah.
