O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee: 2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry; 3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave. 4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath] no strength: 5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. Selah. 8Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth. 9My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee. 10Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? Selah. 11Shall thy loving-kindness 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 to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee. 14LORD, 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 goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 17They came around me daily like water; they encompassed me together. 18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] my 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.
