Cry out to You (Psalm 88)



O Lord God of my salvation

I cry out to you by day

I come to you at night

Now hear my prayer, listen to my cry

For my life is full of troubles and death draws near


O Lord God of my salvation

I am as good as dead 

And I lie like a corpse in a grave

I am forgotten, cut off from your care

You've thrown me into the lowest pit

Into the darkest depth.


Your anger weighs me down

With waves after waves you have engulfed me.


You've driven my friends away

By making me repulsive to them

I am in a trap with no way of escape

My eyes are blinded, by my tears

Each day I beg for your help

O Lord, I lift my hands to you for mercy.


Are your wonderful deeds 

of any used to the dead

Do the dead rise up and praise you

Can those in the grave declare your unfailing love

Can they proclaim your faithfulness

In the place of destruction.


Can the darkness speak of your wonderful deeds

Can anyone in the land of forgetfulness talk about your righteousness.
