A prayer containing a grievous complaint.

88:1 ¶ [[A Song 7892 [or] Psalm 4210 for the sons 1121 of Korah, 7141 to the chief Musician 5329 z8764 upon x5921 Mahalath 4257 Leannoth, 6031 z8763 Maschil 4905 z8688 of Heman 1968 the Ezrahite.]] 250 O LORD 3068 God 430 of my salvation, 3444 I have cried 6817 z8804 day 3117 [and] night 3915 before x5048 thee:

88:2 Let my prayer 8605 come 935 z8799 before 6440 thee: incline 5186 z8685 thine ear 241 unto my cry; 7440

88:3 For x3588 my soul 5315 is full 7646 z8804 of troubles: 7451 and my life 2416 draweth nigh 5060 z8689 unto the grave. 7585

88:4 I am counted 2803 z8738 with x5973 them that go down 3381 z8802 into the pit: 953 I am x1961 as a man 1397 [that hath] no x369 strength: 353

88:5 Free 2670 among the dead, 4191 z8801 like x3644 the slain 2491 that lie 7901 z8802 in the grave, 6913 whom x834 thou rememberest 2142 z8804 no x3808 more: x5750 and they x1992 are cut off 1504 z8738 from thy hand. 3027 x4480

88:6 Thou hast laid 7896 z8804 me in the lowest 8482 pit, 953 in darkness, 4285 in the deeps. 4688

88:7 Thy wrath 2534 lieth hard 5564 z8804 upon x5921 me, and thou hast afflicted 6031 z8765 [me] with all x3605 thy waves. 4867 Selah. 5542

88:8 Thou hast put away 7368 z0 mine acquaintance 3045 z8794 far y7368 z8689 from x4480 me; thou hast made 7896 z8804 me an abomination 8441 unto them: [I am] shut up, 3607 z8803 and I cannot x3808 come forth. 3318 z8799

88:9 Mine eye 5869 mourneth 1669 z8804 by reason of x4480 affliction: 6040 LORD, 3068 I have called 7121 z8804 daily 3117 x3605 upon thee, I have stretched out 7849 z8765 my hands 3709 unto thee. x413

88:10 Wilt thou shew 6213 z8799 wonders 6382 to the dead? 4191 z8801 shall the dead 7496 arise 6965 z8799 [and] praise 3034 z8686 thee? Selah. 5542

88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness 2617 be declared 5608 z8792 in the grave? 6913 [or] thy faithfulness 530 in destruction? 11

88:12 Shall thy wonders 6382 be known 3045 z8735 in the dark? 2822 and thy righteousness 6666 in the land 776 of forgetfulness? 5388

88:13 But unto x413 thee have I x589 cried, 7768 z8765 O LORD; 3068 and in the morning 1242 shall my prayer 8605 prevent 6923 z8762 thee.

88:14 LORD, 3068 why x4100 castest thou off 2186 z8799 my soul? 5315 [why] hidest 5641 z8686 thou thy face 6440 from x4480 me?

88:15 I x589 [am] afflicted 6041 and ready to die 1478 z8802 from [my] youth y5290 up: x4480 x5290 [while] I suffer 5375 z8804 thy terrors 367 I am distracted. 6323 z8799

88:16 Thy fierce wrath 2740 goeth x5674 over y5674 z8804 x5921 me; thy terrors 1161 have cut me off. 6789 z8768

88:17 They came round about 5437 z8804 me daily 3117 x3605 like water; 4325 they compassed y5362 z8689 me about x5362 x5921 together. 3162

88:18 Lover 157 z8802 and friend 7453 hast thou put far 7368 z8689 from x4480 me, [and] mine acquaintance 3045 z8794 into darkness. 4285
