MOF PSA Chapter 88

PSA 88 ©

A Korahite song for music from the Choirmaster’s collection. To the tune of “Suffering sore.” An ode of Heman the Ezrahite.

88O thou Eternal, I cry for help in the daytime,

and at night I moan before thee;

2let my prayer reach thy presence,

bend an ear to my cry.

3For trouble fills my soul to the full,

my life is on the verge of death;

4I am already reckoned among the departed,

I am but the shadow of a man,

5left to myself among the dead,

like the slain lying in their graves,

of whom thou hast mind no more–

they are deprived of thee.

6In the nethermost pit thou hast placed me,

in abysses dark and deep;

7thy wrath lies heavy upon me,

thy waves all overwhelm me.

8Thou has removed my friends from afar,

and made them loathe me;

I cannot get free from my prison,

9and my health pines away under my trouble.

Daily I call to thee, O thou Eternal,

I stretch my hands to thee.

10Canst thou work wonders for the dead?

Can ghosts arise to praise thee?

11Can thy love be recounted in the grave,

thy faithfulness within the world below?

12Can thy wonders be known in the darkness,

thy saving help in the land of oblivion?

13I am crying for help, O Eternal, to thee,

my prayer comes to thee in the morning.

14Why discard me, O Eternal?

Why hide thy face from me?

15Ever since youth I have suffered and languished,

crushed by the dread of thee, I faint;

16thy burning wrath sweeps over me,

thy terrors have undone me,

17surging round me without end,

closing round on every side.

18Thou has put far every friend,

and darkness is my one companion.
