Psalms 88:3

A Prayer for Help in Despondency

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath Leannoth.” A Contemplation of Heman the Ezrahite.

1 O Lord, ^aGod of my salvation,
I have cried out day and night before You.

2 Let my prayer come before You;
¹Incline Your ear to my cry.

3 For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life ^adraws near to the grave.

4 I am counted with those who ^ago down to the pit;
^bI am like a man who has no strength,

5 ¹Adrift among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.

6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.

7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all ^aYour waves. Selah
