Part 50

19:088:002 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

19:088:003 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

19:088:004 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

19:088:005 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

19:088:006 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

19:088:007 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

19:088:008 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

19:088:009 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

19:088:010 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

19:088:011 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

19:088:012 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

19:088:013 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

19:088:014 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

19:088:015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

19:088:016 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

19:088:017 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

19:088:018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

19:089:001 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

19:089:002 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

19:089:003 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

19:089:004 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

19:089:005 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

19:089:006 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

19:089:007 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

19:089:008 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

19:089:009 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

19:089:010 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

19:089:011 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
