Psalms 88

1O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יְשׁוּעָתִי יֹום־צָעַקְתִּי בַלַּיְלָה נֶגְדֶּךָ׃ (1748)

2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

תָּבֹוא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי הַטֵּה־אָזְנְךָ לְרִנָּתִי׃ (2306)

4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
