Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee (88:9) Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah (88:10) Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction (88:11) Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness (88:12) But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee (88:13) Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me (88:14) I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted (88:15) Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off (88:16) They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together (88:17) Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness
(88:18)
