Psalm 88:2–5

2 May my prayer reach your presence;

listen to my cry.y

3 For I have had enough troubles,

and my life is near Sheol.z

4 I am counted among those going down to the Pit.aa

I am like a man without strength,ab

5 abandonedA among the dead.

I am like the slain lying in the grave,ac

whom you no longer remember,

and who are cut off from your care.B,ad
