Psalm 88 :: King James Version (KJV)

A Petition to Be Saved from Death.

Psa 88:1[[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:

Psa 88:2

Psa 88:2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

Psa 88:3

Psa 88:3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

Psa 88:4

Psa 88:4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Psa 88:5

Psa 88:5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Psa 88:6

Psa 88:6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

Psa 88:7

Psa 88:7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

Psa 88:8

Psa 88:8Thou 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.

Psa 88:9

Psa 88:9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

Psa 88:10

Psa 88:10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

Psa 88:11

Psa 88:11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

Psa 88:12

Psa 88:12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Psa 88:13

Psa 88:13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

Psa 88:14

Psa 88:14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

Psa 88:15

Psa 88:15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

Psa 88:16

Psa 88:16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

Psa 88:17

Psa 88:17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

Psa 88:18

Psa 88:18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
