Psalm 88:13

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

But I, O Lord, cry to thee; in the morning my prayer comes before thee.

See the chapter Copy

O Lord, in the morning thou dost hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.

And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

O Lord my God, I cried to thee for help, and thou hast healed me.

before I go whence I shall not return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,

the land of gloom and chaos, where light is as darkness.”

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost.

thou didst hear my plea, ‘Do not close thine ear to my cry for help!’
