Psalms Chapter 88 (ESV)

Compare with Version:

¹ [1]ⓐ ⓑ ⓒ O LORD,ⓓ God of my salvation, Iⓔ cry out day and night before you.

² Let my prayer come before you; ⓕincline your ear to my cry!

³ For my soul is full of troubles, andⓖ my life draws near toⓗ Sheol.

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[2] 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

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.[3]

¹⁶ Your wrath has swept over me; yourⓓ dreadful assaults destroy me.

¹⁷ Theyⓔ surround me like a floodⓕ all day long; theyⓖ close in on me together.

¹⁸ You have causedⓗ my beloved and my friend to shun me; my companions have become darkness.[4]
