Psalm 88 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Psa 88:1A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korach. For the Chief Musician. To the tune "The Suffering of Affliction." A maskil by Heman, the Ezrachite. LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
Psa 88:2Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
Psa 88:3For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to She'ol.
Psa 88:4I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
Psa 88:5Set apart among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
Psa 88:6You have laid me in the lowest pit, In the darkest depths.
Psa 88:7Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
Psa 88:8You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.
Psa 88:9My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, LORD. I have spread out my hands to you.
Psa 88:10Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.
Psa 88:11Is your lovingkindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
Psa 88:12Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psa 88:13But to you, LORD, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
Psa 88:14LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
Psa 88:15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
Psa 88:16Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
Psa 88:17They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
Psa 88:18You have put lover and friend far from me, And my friends into darkness.
