88:4 I am counted [H2803] with them that go down [H3381] into the pit [H953] : I am as a man [H1397] [that hath] no strength [H353] :
88:5 Free [H2670] among the dead [H4191] , like the slain [H2491] that lie [H7901] in the grave [H6913] , whom thou rememberest [H2142] no more: and they are cut off [H1504] from thy hand [H3027] .(from: or, by)

88:10 Wilt thou shew [H6213] wonders [H6382] to the dead [H4191] ? shall the dead [H7496] arise [H6965] [and] praise [H3034] thee? Selah [H5542] .
88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness [H2617] be declared [H5608] in the grave [H6913] ? [or] thy faithfulness [H530] in destruction [H11] ?

88:13 But unto thee have I cried [H7768] , O LORD [H3068] ; and in the morning [H1242] shall my prayer [H8605] prevent [H6923] thee.
88:14 LORD [H3068] , why castest thou off [H2186] my soul [H5315] ? [why] hidest [H5641] thou thy face [H6440] from me?

88:16 Thy fierce wrath [H2740] goeth over [H5674] me; thy terrors [H1161] have cut me off [H6789] .
