Psalms 88:6

Read in context

Psalms 88:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

6 You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.

7 Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah

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