Selah 88:8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 88:9 Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee. 88:10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee? Selah 88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction? 88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 88:13 But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee. 88:14 Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me? 88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 88:16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. 88:17 They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together. 88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. Psalm 89 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
