Psalm 88:5–9

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

6 You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit,

in the darkest places, in the depths.ae

7 Your wrath weighs heavily on me;af

you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.a

Selah

8 You have distanced my friends from me;

you have made me repulsive to them.b

I am shut in and cannot go out.

9 My eyes are worn out from crying.c

Lord, I cry out to you all day long;d

I spread out my hands to you.e
