Read in context

Psalms 88:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.

2 May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.

3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

4 I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.

5 I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
