Psalm 88:2

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

please listen carefully to each of my concerns.

See the chapter Copy

Listen to my prayer and hurry to save me. Be my mighty rock and the fortress where I am safe.

Even when I shouted and prayed for help, he refused to listen.

Listen to the prisoners groan! Let your mighty power save all who are sentenced to die.

Suppose someone accuses a person of a crime, and the accused has to stand in front of the altar in your temple and say, “I swear I am innocent!”

Yet you are the holy God, ruling from your throne and praised by Israel.

Be kind to me! I pray to you all day.

Even before sunrise, I pray for your help, and I put my hope in what you have said.
