Psalms 88:12-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. Will your miracles be known in the dark grave?Will your goodness be known in the land where the dead are forgotten?

13. But, Lord, I have called out to you for help.Every morning I pray to you.

14. Lord, why do you reject me?Why do you hide from me?

15. I have been weak and dying since I was young.I suffer from your terrors, and I am helpless.

16. You have been angry with me.Your terrors have destroyed me.

17. They surround me daily like a flood.They are all around me.

18. You have taken away my loved ones and friends.Darkness is my only friend.
