Psalms 88:6-18 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep. ⁷ Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy floods. Selah. ⁸ Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth. ⁹ My sight faileth for very trouble: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands unto thee. ¹⁰ Dost thou show wonders among the dead? Can the Physicians raise them up again, that they may praise thee? Selah. ¹¹ May thy loving-kindness be showed in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in destruction? ¹² Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark? Or thy righteousness in the land where all things are forgotten? ¹³ Unto thee have I cried, O LORD, and early shall my prayer come before thee. ¹⁴ LORD, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thou thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind. ¹⁶ Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me; and the fear of thee hath undone me. ¹⁷ They came round about me daily like water, and compassed me together on every side. ¹⁸ My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.
