88:1 A
song
or
Psalme
for
the
sonnes
of
Korah,
to
the
chiefe
Musician
vpon
Mahalath
Leannoth,
Maschil
of
Heman
the
Ezrahite.
O
Lord
God
of
my
saluation,
I
haue
cried
day
and
night
before
thee.
88:2 Let
my
prayer
come
before
thee:
incline
thine
eare
vnto
my
cry.
88:3 For
my
soule
is
full
of
troubles:
and
my
life
draweth
nigh
vnto
the
graue.
88:4 I
am
counted
with
them
that
go
downe
into
the
pit:
I
am
as
a
man
that
hath
no
strength.
88:5 Free
among
the
dead,
like
the
slaine
that
lie
in
the
graue,
whom
thou
remembrest
no
more:
and
they
are
cut
off
from
thy
hand.
88:6 Thou
hast
laid
me
in
the
lowest
pit:
in
darkenesse,
in
the
deepes.
88:7 Thy
wrath
lieth
hard
vpon
me:
and
thou
hast
afflicted
me
with
all
thy
waues.
Selah.
88:8 Thou
hast
put
away
mine
acquaintance
farre
from
mee:
thou
hast
made
me
an
abomination
vnto
them:
I
am
shut
vp,
and
I
cannot
come
forth.
88:9 Mine
eye
mourneth
by
reason
of
affliction,
Lord,
I
haue
called
daily
vpon
thee:
I
haue
stretched
out
my
hands
vnto
thee.
88:10 Wilt
thou
shew
wonders
to
the
dead
shal
the
dead
arise
and
praise
thee
Selah.
88:11 Shall
thy
louing
kindnesse
be
declared
in
the
graue
or
thy
faithfulnesse
in
destruction
88:12 Shall
thy
wonders
be
knowen
in
the
darke
and
thy
righteousnesse
in
the
land
of
forgetfulnesse
88:13 But
vnto
thee
haue
I
cried,
O
Lord,
and
in
the
morning
shall
my
prayer
preuent
thee.
88:14 Lord,
why
castest
thou
off
my
soule
why
hidest
thou
thy
face
from
me
88:15 I
am
afflicted
and
ready
to
die,
from
my
youth
vp:
while
I
suffer
thy
terrours,
I
am
distracted.
88:16 Thy
fierce
wrath
goeth
ouer
me:
thy
terrours
haue
cut
me
off.
88:17 They
came
round
about
mee
daily
like
water:
they
compassed
mee
about
together.
88:18 Louer
and
friend
hast
thou
put
farre
from
me:
and
mine
acquaintance
into
darkenesse.
