Psalm 88:9-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

11. Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

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

13. But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.

14. O Lord, why do you cast my soul away?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.
