19:088:002 Let my prayer come before thee:  incline thine ear unto my cry;

19:088:003 For my soul is full of troubles:  and my life draweth nigh unto
           the grave.

19:088:004 I am counted with them that go down into the pit:  I am as a
           man that hath no strength: 

19:088:005 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave,
           whom thou rememberest no more:  and they are cut off from thy
           hand.

19:088:006 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the
           deeps.

19:088:007 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with
           all thy waves.  Selah.

19:088:008 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast
           made me an abomination unto them:  I am shut up, and I cannot
           come forth.

19:088:009 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction:  Lord, I have called
           daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

19:088:010 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and
           praise thee?  Selah.

19:088:011 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
           faithfulness in destruction?

19:088:012 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness
           in the land of forgetfulness?

19:088:013 But unto thee have I cried, O lord; and in the morning shall
           my prayer prevent thee.

19:088:014 Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face
           from me?

19:088:015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:  while I
           suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

19:088:016 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

19:088:017 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me
           about together.

19:088:018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine
           acquaintance into darkness.

19:089:001 I will sing of the mercies of the lord for ever:  with my mouth
           will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

19:089:002 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever:  thy
           faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

19:089:003 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David
           my servant,

19:089:004 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to
           all generations.  Selah.

19:089:005 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O lord:  thy
           faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

19:089:006 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the lord? who among
           the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the lord?
