Psalm 88:9-11

The Passion Translation

⁹ Every day I beg for your help. Can’t you see my tears?
My eyes are swollen with weeping.
My arms are wide, longing for mercy,^[a]
but you’re nowhere to be found.
¹⁰ How can those who are cut off from your care
even know that you are there?
How can I rise up to praise you if I’m dead and gone?
Pause in his presence
¹¹ Who can give thanks for your love in the graveyard?
Who preaches your faithfulness in the place of destruction?
