Psalm 88:6–8

You have put me in the depths of the pit,

in the regions dark and deep.

Your wrath lies heavy upon me,

and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah

You have caused my companions to shun me;

you have made me a horror to them.

I am shut in so that I cannot escape;

You have put me in the lowest pit,

in the darkest depths.

Your wrath lies heavily on me;

you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.

You have taken from me my closest friends

and have made me repulsive to them.

I am confined and cannot escape;

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

in the darkest places, in the depths.

Your wrath weighs heavily on me;

you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.

Selah

You have distanced my friends from me;

you have made me repulsive to them.

I am shut in and cannot go out.

You have thrown me into the lowest pit,

into the darkest depths.

Your anger weighs me down;

with wave after wave you have engulfed me.

Interlude

You have driven my friends away

by making me repulsive to them.

I am in a trap with no way of escape.

You have set me in the pit below,

in dark places, in the depths.

Your wrath presses upon me,

and you afflict me with all your waves. Selah

You have removed my acquaintances far from me.

You have made me detestable to them.

I am confined and cannot go out.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,

In darkness, in the deeps.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me,

And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me;

Thou hast made me an abomination unto them:

I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
