  Speaker 1: Psalm 88 A song, a psalm by the sons of Korah,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for the chief musician, to the tune of the suffering
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of affliction, a contemplation by Heman the Ezraite. Yahweh, the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: God of my salvation, I have cried day and night
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: before you. Let my prayer enter into your presence, turn
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: your ear to my cry. For my soul is full
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of troubles, my life draws near to Sheol. I am
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: counted among those who go down into the pit. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: am like a man who has no help, set apart
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: among the dead. Like the slain who lie in the grave,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: whom you remember no more, they are cut off from
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: your hand. You have laid me in the lowest pit,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in the darkest depths. Your wrath lies heavily on me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You have afflicted me with all your waves. You have
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: taken my friends from me. You have made me an
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: abomination to them. I am confined and I can't escape.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: rise up and praise you? Is your lovingkindness declared in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the grave? Are your faithfulness in destruction? Are your wonders
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: made known in the dark? Are your righteousness in the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: land of forgetfulness? But to you, Yahweh, I have cried.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: In the morning my prayer comes before you. Yahweh, why
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: face from me? I am afflicted and ready to die
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: am distracted. Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: terrors have cut me off. They came around me like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: water all day long. They completely engulfed me. You have
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: put lover and friend far from me and my friends
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: into darkness.
