Psalm 88:6

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Thou hast me laid in lowest pit, in deeps and darksome caves.

See the chapter Copy

Let not the flood on me prevail, whose water overflows; Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit her mouth upon me close.

Because thy mercy toward me in greatness doth excel; And thou deliver'd hast my soul out from the lowest hell.

For th' en'my hath pursu'd my soul, my life to ground down tread: In darkness he hath made me dwell, as who have long been dead.

He took me from a fearful pit, and from the miry clay, And on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way.

Lord, from the depths to thee I cry'd.
