New English Translation

Psalms 88:10-18 New English Translation (NET)

10. Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead?Do the departed spirits rise up and give you thanks? (Selah)

11. Is your loyal love proclaimed in the grave,or your faithfulness in the place of the dead?

12. Are your amazing deeds experienced in the dark region,or your deliverance in the land of oblivion?

13. As for me, I cry out to you, O Lord;in the morning my prayer confronts you.

14. O Lord, why do you reject me,and pay no attention to me?

15. I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth.I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.

16. Your anger overwhelms me;your terrors destroy me.

17. They surround me like water all day long;they join forces and encircle me.

18. You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance;those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.
