88{A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to} (Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.) O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before Thee.H7892H4210H1121H7141H5329H4257H6031H4905H1968H250H3068H430H3444H6817H3117H39152Let my prayer come before Thee; Incline Thine ear to my cry!H8605H935H6440H5186H241H74403For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.H5315H7646H7451H2416H5060H75854I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,H2803H3381H953H1397H3535Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom Thou dost remember no more, And they are cut off from Thy hand.H2670H4191H2491H7901H6913H2142H1504H30276Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.H7896H8482H953H4285H46887Thy wrath has rested upon me, And Thou hast afflicted me with all Thy waves. Selah.H2534H5564H6031H4867H55428Thou hast removed my acquaintances far from me; Thou hast made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out.H7368H3045H7368H7896H8441H3607H33189My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon Thee every day, O LORD; I have spread out my hands to Thee.H5869H1669H6040H3068H7121H3117H7849H370910Wilt Thou perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise [and] praise Thee? Selah.H6213H6382H4191H7496H6965H3034H554211Will Thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Thy faithfulness in Abaddon?H2617H5608H6913H530H1112Will Thy wonders be made known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?H6382H3045H2822H6666H776H538813But I, O LORD, have cried out to Thee for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before Thee.H7768H3068H1242H8605H692314O LORD, why dost Thou reject my soul? [Why] dost Thou hide Thy face from me?H3068H2186H5315H5641H644015I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Thy terrors; I am overcome.H6041H1478H5290H5375H367H632316Thy burning anger has passed over me; Thy terrors have destroyed me.H2740H5674H1161H678917They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.H5437H3117H4325H5362H316218Thou hast removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are [in] darkness.H157H7453H7368H3045H4285

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
