[Selah 8Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 9Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee. 10Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? [Selah 11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction? 12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 13But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee. 14Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me? 15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 16Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. 17They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together. 18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 87Next chapterPsalms 89›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 88 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
