19_PSA_88_01 A song [ or ] Psalm for the sons of Korah , to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth , Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite . O LORD God of my salvation , I have cried day [ And ] night before thee :
19_PSA_88_02 let my prayer come before thee : incline thine ear unto my cry ;
19_PSA_88_03 for my soul Is full of troubles : And my life draweth nigh unto the grave .
19_PSA_88_04 I am counted with them that go down into the pit : I am as A man [ that hath ] no strength :
19_PSA_88_05 free among the dead , like the slain that Lie in the grave , whom thou rememberest no more : And they are cut off from thy hand .
19_PSA_88_06 thou hast laid me in the lowest pit , in darkness , in the deeps .
19_PSA_88_07 thy wrath lieth hard upon me , And thou hast afflicted [ me ] with all thy waves . Selah .
19_PSA_88_08 thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me ; thou hast made me an abomination unto them : [ I am ] shut up , And I cannot come forth .
19_PSA_88_09 mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction : LORD , I have called daily upon thee , I have stretched out my hands unto thee .
19_PSA_88_10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead ? shall the dead Arise [ And ] praise thee ? Selah .
19_PSA_88_11 shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave ? [ or ] thy faithfulness in destruction ?
19_PSA_88_12 shall thy wonders be known in the dark ? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness ?
19_PSA_88_13 but unto thee have I cried , O LORD ; And in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee .
19_PSA_88_14 LORD , why castest thou off my soul ? [ why ] hidest thou thy face from me ?
19_PSA_88_15 I [ am ] afflicted And ready to die from [ my ] youth up : [ while ] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted .
19_PSA_88_16 thy fierce wrath goeth over me ; thy terrors have cut me off .
19_PSA_88_17 they came round about me daily like water ; they compassed me about together .
19_PSA_88_18 lover And friend hast thou put far from me , [ And ] mine acquaintance into darkness .
