Psalm 88 - Danielle Rose

Lord, my God, I call by day

I cry aloud at night

Let my prayer before you come

Incline your ear to my cry

For my soul is filled with troubles

My life draws near to the grave

I am reckoned as one in the tomb

I’ve reached the end of my strength

Like the slain lying in their graves

Like one among the dead

Like those you remember no more

You’ve laid me in the depths

Imprisioned, I cannot escape

My eyes grow dim with grief

Your wrath lies heavy upon me, Lord

Your waves crash over me

Is your love proclaimed in the grave?

Your fidelity in the tomb?

Lord, I call to you for help

I stretch out my hands to you

Why do you reject me, Lord?

Why hide from me your face?

Friend and neighbor you’ve taken away

My only friend is darkness

My only friend is darkness
