Deepest Affliction (Psalm 88)

O Lord my God, I cry out in affliction let my prayer come before you with troubles, the soul is surfeited life draws near to the nether world Weeping and Gnashing excruciating infliction never ending convulsion pain tearing apart Dwelling places among the dead like the slain who lie in the grave whom are remembered no longer and are cut off from your care Eyes have grown dim through affliction outward the stretching of limbs increase of lamentations outcry, catharsis of prayer Sorrow filled realms call in mourning existing chorus of pleas only a companion of darkness atonement claims, replacing grief Among those who have departed shadows arise to give you thanks justice shed within oblivion declared kindness in the grave Eyes have grown dim through affliction outward the stretching of limbs increase of lamentations outcry, catharsis of prayer
