Psalms 88:2-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 88
2
Let my prayer come before You;
Incline Your ear to my cry!
3
For my soul has had enough troubles,
And my life has approached Sheol.
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I have become like a man without strength,
5
Abandoned among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are cut off from Your hand.
6
You have put me in the lowest pit,
In dark places, in the depths.
7
Your wrath has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves.
Selah
8
You have removed my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an object of loathing to them;
I am shut up and cannot go out.
9
My eye grows dim from misery;
I have called upon You every day,
Lord
;
I have spread out my hands to You.
10
Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Or will the departed spirits rise
and
praise You?
Selah
11
Will Your graciousness be declared in the grave,
Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12
Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13
But I,
Lord
, have cried out to You for help,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14
Lord
, why do You reject my soul?
Why
do You hide Your face from me?
15
I was miserable and about to die from my youth on;
I suffer Your terrors; I grow weary.
16
Your burning anger has passed over me;
Your terrors have destroyed me.
17
They have surrounded me like water all day long;
They have encircled me altogether.
18
You have removed lover and friend far from me;
My acquaintances are
in
a hiding place.
King James Version
Chapter 88
2
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
3
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
4
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
5
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.
6
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
8
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.
9
Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction:
Lord
, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13
But unto thee have I cried, O
Lord
; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
14
Lord
, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
15
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 88
2
May my prayer reach your presence;
listen to my cry.
3
For I have had enough troubles,
and my life is near Sheol.
4
I am counted among those going down to the Pit.
I am like a man without strength,
5
abandoned among the dead.
I am like the slain lying in the grave,
whom you no longer remember,
and who are cut off from your care.
6
You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit,
in the darkest places, in the depths.
7
Your wrath weighs heavily on me;
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.
Selah
8
You have distanced my friends from me;
you have made me repulsive to them.
I am shut in and cannot go out.
9
My eyes are worn out from crying.
Lord
, I cry out to you all day long;
I spread out my hands to you.
10
Do you work wonders for the dead?
Do departed spirits rise up to praise you?
Selah
11
Will your faithful love be declared in the grave,
your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12
Will your wonders be known in the darkness
or your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
13
But I call to you for help,
Lord
;
in the morning my prayer meets you.
14
Lord
, why do you reject me?
Why do you hide your face from me?
15
From my youth,
I have been suffering and near death.
I suffer your horrors; I am desperate.
16
Your wrath sweeps over me;
your terrors destroy me.
17
They surround me like water all day long;
they close in on me from every side.
18
You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;
darkness is my only friend.
New Living Translation
Chapter 88
2
Now hear my prayer;
listen to my cry.
3
For my life is full of troubles,
and death draws near.
4
I am as good as dead,
like a strong man with no strength left.
5
They have left me among the dead,
and I lie like a corpse in a grave.
I am forgotten,
cut off from your care.
6
You have thrown me into the lowest pit,
into the darkest depths.
7
Your anger weighs me down;
with wave after wave you have engulfed me.
Interlude
8
You have driven my friends away
by making me repulsive to them.
I am in a trap with no way of escape.
9
My eyes are blinded by my tears.
Each day I beg for your help, O
Lord
;
I lift my hands to you for mercy.
10
Are your wonderful deeds of any use to the dead?
Do the dead rise up and praise you?
Interlude
11
Can those in the grave declare your unfailing love?
Can they proclaim your faithfulness in the place of destruction?
12
Can the darkness speak of your wonderful deeds?
Can anyone in the land of forgetfulness talk about your righteousness?
13
O
Lord
, I cry out to you.
I will keep on pleading day by day.
14
O
Lord
, why do you reject me?
Why do you turn your face from me?
15
I have been sick and close to death since my youth.
I stand helpless and desperate before your terrors.
16
Your fierce anger has overwhelmed me.
Your terrors have paralyzed me.
17
They swirl around me like floodwaters all day long.
They have engulfed me completely.
18
You have taken away my companions and loved ones.
Darkness is my closest friend.

2
Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear to my cry!
3
For my soul is full of troubles,
and my life draws near to Sheol.
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
5
like one set loose 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.
6
You have put me in the depths of the pit,
in the regions dark and deep.
7
Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with all your waves.
Selah
8
You have caused my companions to shun me;
you have made me a horror to them.
I am shut in so that I cannot escape;
9
my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O
Lord
;
I spread out my hands to you.
10
Do you work wonders for the dead?
Do the departed rise up to praise you?
Selah
11
Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12
Are your wonders known in the darkness,
or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13
But I, O
Lord
, cry to you;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14
O
Lord
, why do you cast my soul away?
Why do you hide your face from me?
15
Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
16
Your wrath has swept over me;
your dreadful assaults destroy me.
17
They surround me like a flood all day long;
they close in on me together.
18
You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness.
New International Version
Chapter 88
2
May my prayer come before you;
turn your ear to my cry.
3
I am overwhelmed with troubles
and my life draws near to death.
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am like one without strength.
5
I am set apart with the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
who are cut off from your care.
6
You have put me in the lowest pit,
in the darkest depths.
7
Your wrath lies heavily on me;
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.
8
You have taken from me my closest friends
and have made me repulsive to them.
I am confined and cannot escape;
9
my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you,
Lord
, every day;
I spread out my hands to you.
10
Do you show your wonders to the dead?
Do their spirits rise up and praise you?
11
Is your love declared in the grave,
your faithfulness in Destruction ?
12
Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
13
But I cry to you for help,
Lord
;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14
Why,
Lord
, do you reject me
and hide your face from me?
15
From my youth I have suffered and been close to death;
I have borne your terrors and am in despair.
16
Your wrath has swept over me;
your terrors have destroyed me.
17
All day long they surround me like a flood;
they have completely engulfed me.
18
You have taken from me friend and neighbor—
darkness is my closest friend.
New King James Version
Chapter 88
2
Let my prayer come before You;
Incline Your ear to my cry.
3
For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draws near to the grave.
4
I am counted with those who go down to the pit;
I am like a man
who has
no strength,
5
Adrift among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.
6
You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.
7
Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
And You have afflicted
me
with all Your waves.
Selah
8
You have put away my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an abomination to them;
I am
shut up, and I cannot get out;
9
My eye wastes away because of affliction.
Lord
, I have called daily upon You;
I have stretched out my hands to You.
10
Will You work wonders for the dead?
Shall the dead arise
and
praise You?
Selah
11
Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
Or
Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?
12
Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13
But to You I have cried out, O
Lord
,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14
Lord
, why do You cast off my soul?
Why
do You hide Your face from me?
15
I
have been
afflicted and ready to die from
my
youth;
I suffer Your terrors;
I am distraught.
16
Your fierce wrath has gone over me;
Your terrors have cut me off.
17
They came around me all day long like water;
They engulfed me altogether.
18
Loved one and friend You have put far from me,
And
my acquaintances into darkness.
