Follow me here:

O Lord, God of my salvation,
I cry out day and night before you.
Let my prayer come before you;
Incline your ear to my cry!

For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draws near to Sheol.
I am counted among those who go down to the pit;

I am a man who has no strength,
Like one set loose among the dead,
Like the slain that lie in the grave,
Like those whom you remember no more,
For they are cut off from your hand.

You have put me in the depths of the pit,
In the regions dark and deep.
Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
And you overwhelm me with all your waves.

[silentcal]

The only sad psalm that doesn't end on a happy note.

[trevortomah]

I totally love the fact, that his voice is first and foremost, and the instruments are background back up, awesome and beautiful, Amen, Shalom.

[sophiajao]

1 O LORD, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you. 2 Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry! 3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. 4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am a man who has no strength, 5 like one set loose among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, like those whom you remember no more, for they are cut off from your hand. 6 You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep. 7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah 8 You have caused my companions to shun me; you have made me a horror to them. I am shut in so that I cannot escape; 9 my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call upon you, O LORD; I spread out my hands to you. 10 Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah (Psalm 88:1-10, ESV)

[Faith_Hope_Love]

Feelings of hopelessness and yet trusting in the Lord…. Psalm 88

1Lord, you are the God who saves me;
day and night I cry out to you.
2 May my prayer come before you;
turn your ear to my cry.
3 I am overwhelmed with troubles
and my life draws near to death.
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am like one without strength.
5 I am set apart with the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
who are cut off from your care.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit,
in the darkest depths.
7 Your wrath lies heavily on me;
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.

[shelleybodine]

I thank God for His grace, for I was once darkness, but now I am light in the Lord!

[piemuggs]

Heman may have written it, but that sounds like Jesus talking.

[bpeper]

Great voice but if I may say so, the tone is generic, not fully matching the lyrics.
