| Help Me O Lord!. Psalm 88(v87) | |||
| 1 | O Yahweh, my God, I call for help by day; I cry out in the night before you. | ||
| 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 reckoned among those who go down to the Pit; I am a man who has no strength, | ||
| 5 | like one forsaken 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. | ||
| 8 | You have caused my companions to shun me; you have made me a thing of 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 Yahweh; I spread out my hands to you. | ||
| 10 | Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the shades rise up to praise you? | ||
| 11 | Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon? | ||
| 12 | Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your saving help in the land of forgetfulness? | ||
| 13 | But I, O Yahweh, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. | ||
| 14 | O Yahweh, why do you cast me off? 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 dread assaults destroy me. | ||
| 17 | They surround me like a flood all day long; they close in upon me together. | ||
| 18 | You have caused lover and friend to shun me; my companions are in darkness. | ||
