Psalm 88:2-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ For my soul is full of troubles,
    and my life draws near to Sheol.^(B)
4 I am counted among those who go down to the Pit;
    I am like those who have no help,^(C)
5 like those forsaken among the dead,
    like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom you remember no more,
    for they are cut off from your hand.^(D)
6 You have put me in the depths of the Pit,
    in the regions dark and deep.^(E)
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
    and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah^(F)

⁸ You have caused my companions to shun me;
    you have made me a thing of horror to them.
I am shut in so that I cannot escape;^(G)
9     my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call on you, O Lord;
    I spread out my hands to you.^(H)
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
    Do the shades rise up to praise you? Selah^(I)
