Psalms 88:6-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. You placed me down in the deepest pit,in places dark and deep.

7. Your anger smothers me;you subdue me with it, wave after wave. Selah

8. You’ve made my friends distant.You’ve made me disgusting to them.I can’t escape. I’m trapped!

9. My eyes are tired of looking at my suffering.I’ve been calling out to you every day, Lord—I’ve had my hands outstretched to you!

10. Do you work wonders for the dead?Do ghosts rise up and give you thanks? Selah

11. Is your faithful love proclaimed in the grave,your faithfulness in the underworld?

12. Are your wonders known in the land of darkness,your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
