New Testament

Psalms 88:1-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Lord God, you are my Savior. I have been praying to you day and night.

2. Please pay attention to my prayers. Listen to my prayers for mercy.

3. My soul has had enough of this pain! I am ready to die.

4. People already treat me like a dead man, like someone too weak to live.

5. Look for me among the dead, like a body in the grave. I am one of those you have forgotten, cut off from you and your care.

6. You put me in that hole in the ground. Yes, you put me in that dark place.

7. Your anger presses down on me like a heavy weight. It’s like one wave after another pounding against me. Selah

8. You made my friends leave me. They all avoid me like someone no one wants to touch. Like a prisoner in my house, I cannot go out.
