New Living Translation

Psalms 88:5-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. They have left me among the dead,and I lie like a corpse in a grave.I am forgotten,cut off from your care.

6. You have thrown me into the lowest pit,into the darkest depths.

7. Your anger weighs me down;with wave after wave you have engulfed me.Interlude

8. You have driven my friends awayby making me repulsive to them.I am in a trap with no way of escape.

9. My eyes are blinded by my tears.Each day I beg for your help, O  lord;I lift my hands to you for mercy.

10. Are your wonderful deeds of any use to the dead?Do the dead rise up and praise you?Interlude
