Psalm 88:6
Print
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.
You have laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
You have laid me in the depths of the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths.
You placed me down in the deepest pit, in places dark and deep.
left by myself among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave — you no longer remember them; they are cut off from your care.
You have put me in the deepest and darkest grave;
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: and thy truth in the church of the saints.
You put me in that hole in the ground. Yes, you put me in that dark place.
You have put me in the deep hole of death, far down in a very dark place.
You have put me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the depths.
You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep.
You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep.
You have ·brought me close to death [L set me in a Pit below]; ·I am almost in the dark place of the dead [L …in the deepest darkness].
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, and in the deep.
You have put me in the bottom of the pit—in deep, dark places.
You have thrown me into the depths of the tomb, into the darkest and deepest pit.
You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths.
You have brought me close to death. I am almost in the dark place of the dead.
You have assigned me to the lowest part of the Pit, to the darkest depths.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
You have put me in the pit far below, In dark places, in the depths.
You have set me in the pit below, in dark places, in the depths.
You have thrust me down to the darkest depths.
God, you’re my last chance of the day. I spend the night on my knees before you. Put me on your salvation agenda; take notes on the trouble I’m in. I’ve had my fill of trouble; I’m camped on the edge of hell. I’m written off as a lost cause, one more statistic, a hopeless case. Abandoned as already dead, one more body in a stack of corpses, And not so much as a gravestone— I’m a black hole in oblivion. You’ve dropped me into a bottomless pit, sunk me in a pitch-black abyss. I’m battered senseless by your rage, relentlessly pounded by your waves of anger. You turned my friends against me, made me horrible to them. I’m caught in a maze and can’t find my way out, blinded by tears of pain and frustration. I call to you, God; all day I call. I wring my hands, I plead for help. Are the dead a live audience for your miracles? Do ghosts ever join the choirs that praise you? Does your love make any difference in a graveyard? Is your faithful presence noticed in the corridors of hell? Are your marvelous wonders ever seen in the dark, your righteous ways noticed in the Land of No Memory?
You have laid me in the depths of the pit, in dark and deep regions.
You have put me in the bottom of the pit—in deep, dark places.
My couch is among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave. You remember them no more; they are cut off from your influence.
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
I have been abandoned among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, like those whom you remember no longer and whom your hand has abandoned.
You have brought me close to death; I am almost in the dark place of the dead.
You place me in the lowest regions of the Pit, in the dark places, in the watery depths.
It’s as if you have put me deep down in the grave. It’s as if you have put me in that deep, dark place.
You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
You have laid me in the lowest pit, In darkness, in the depths.
You have put me in the deepest hole, in a dark and deep place.
You have thrown me into the lowest pit, into the darkest depths.
You have put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
You have put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
You have put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
You have put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest bor (pit), in darkness, in the deeps.
Thou hast put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
Thou hast put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
abandoned among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom You remember no more— cut off from Your hand.
Forsaken by Him and cut off from His hand, abandoned among the dead who rest in their graves. And You have sent me to be forgotten with them, in the lowest pits of the earth, in the darkest canyons of the ocean.
You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
They have put me in the lower pit; in dark places, and in the shadow of death.
Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
