Book 27 : KETUVIM - PSALMS - Chapter 088
88:001
A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon
Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite
88:002
O HaShem, G-d of my salvation, what time I cry in the night
before Thee
88:003
Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my
cry
88:004
For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth
nigh unto the grave
88:005
I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am
become as a man that hath no help
88:006
Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the
grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand
88:007
Thou hast laid me in the nether-most pit, in dark places,
in the deeps
88:008
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou
pressest down. Sela
88:009
Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made
me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth
88:010
Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have
called upon Thee, O HaShem, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee
88:011
Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades
arise and give Thee thanks? Sela
88:012
Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy
faithfulness in destruction
88:013
Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy
righteousness in the land of forgetfulness
88:014
But as for me, unto Thee, O HaShem, do I cry, and in the
morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee
88:015
HaShem, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy
face from me
88:016
I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up;
I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted
88:017
Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me
off
88:018
They came round about me like water all the day; they
compassed me about together
88:019
Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine
acquaintance into darkness
