Psalm 88:4-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. I am counted among those who go down to the pit;I am a man who has no strength,

5. like one set loose 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. Selah

8. You have caused my companions to shun me;you have made me a 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 Lord;I spread out my hands to you.

10. Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
