American Standard Version
"Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me? "
— Psalms 88:14, American Standard Version
“Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?”
“Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?”
“O LORD, why do you reject me, and pay no attention to me?”
“Thy arm is with might. Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted:”
“Lord, why have you sent away my soul? why is your face covered from me?”
“Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?”
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.
