NET Bible
"They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man,"
— Psalms 88:4, NET Bible
“I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:”
“I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help, ”
“I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,”
“I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:”
“I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:”
“I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:”
A song, a psalm written by the Korahites; for the music director; according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrachite. O LORD God who delivers me! By day I cry out and at night I pray before you.
Listen to my prayer! Pay attention to my cry for help!
For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol.
They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man,
adrift among the dead, like corpses lying in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from your power.
You place me in the lowest regions of the Pit, in the dark places, in the watery depths.
Your anger bears down on me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves.(Selah)
