88 O Yahweh, the ^(A)God of my salvation,
I have ^(B)cried out by day and throughout the night before You.
² Let my prayer ^(C)come before You;
^(D)Incline Your ear to my cry of lamentation!
³ For my ^(E)soul has been saturated with calamities,
And ^(F)my life has reached Sheol.
⁴ I am counted among those who ^(G)go down to the pit;
I am like a man ^(H)without strength,
⁵ Released ^(I)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And they are ^(J)cut off from Your hand.
⁶ You have put me in ^(K)the pit far below,
In ^(L)dark places, in the ^(M)depths.
⁷ Your wrath ^(N)lies upon me,
And You afflict me with ^(O)all Your breaking waves. ^[c]Selah.
