CHAP. LXXXVIII.
A prayer contayning a grieuous complaint.
2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
3For my soule is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh vnto the graue.
4I am counted with them that go downe into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength.
5Free among the dead, like the slaine that lie in the graue, whom thou remembrest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.5
6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit: in darkenesse, in the deepes.
7Thy wrath lieth hard vpon me: and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waues. Selah.
10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shal the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11Shall thy louing kindnesse be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnesse in destruction?
12Shall thy wonders be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnesse in the land of forgetfulnesse?
13But vnto thee haue I cried, O Lord, and in the morning shall my prayer preuent thee.
14Lord, why castest thou off my soule? why hidest thou thy face from me?
15I am afflicted and ready to die, from my youth vp: while I suffer thy terrours, I am distracted.
16Thy fierce wrath goeth ouer me: thy terrours haue cut me off.
17They came round about mee daily like water: they compassed mee about together.17
18Louer and friend hast thou put farre from me: and mine acquaintance into darkenesse.
