Read in context

Psalms 88:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.

9 My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.

10 Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah

11 Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon ?

12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
