  • Ps 88:3-9 : 3 For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol. 4 They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man, 5 adrift among the dead, like corpses lying in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from your power. 6 You place me in the lowest regions of the Pit, in the dark places, in the watery depths. 7 Your anger bears down on me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves.(Selah) 8 You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free. 9 My eyes grow weak because of oppression. I call out to you, O LORD, all day long; I spread out my hands in prayer to you. 10 Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and give you thanks?(Selah) 11 Is your loyal love proclaimed in the grave, or your faithfulness in the place of the dead? 12 Are your amazing deeds experienced in the dark region, or your deliverance in the land of oblivion? 13 As for me, I cry out to you, O LORD; in the morning my prayer confronts you. 14 O LORD, why do you reject me, and pay no attention to me? 15 I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain. 16 Your anger overwhelms me; your terrors destroy me. 17 They surround me like water all day long; they join forces and encircle me. 18 You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.
  • Ps 102:3-9 : 3 For my days go up in smoke, and my bones are charred like a fireplace. 4 My heart is parched and withered like grass, for I am unable to eat food. 5 Because of the anxiety that makes me groan, my bones protrude from my skin. 6 I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins. 7 I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof. 8 All day long my enemies taunt me; those who mock me use my name in their curses. 9 For I eat ashes as if they were bread, and mix my drink with my tears, 10 because of your anger and raging fury. Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away. 11 My days are coming to an end, and I am withered like grass. 12 But you, O LORD, rule forever, and your reputation endures. 13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come. 14 Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins. 15 The nations will respect the reputation of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor, 16 when the LORD rebuilds Zion, and reveals his splendor, 17 when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request. 18 The account of his intervention will be recorded for future generations; people yet to be born will praise the LORD. 19 For he will look down from his sanctuary above; from heaven the LORD will look toward earth, 20 in order to hear the painful cries of the prisoners, and to set free those condemned to die, 21 so they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion, and praise him in Jerusalem, 22 when the nations gather together, and the kingdoms pay tribute to the LORD. 23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; he has cut short my days. 24 I say,“O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! You endure through all generations. 25 In earlier times you established the earth; the skies are your handiwork. 26 They will perish, but you will endure. They will wear out like a garment; like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 27 But you remain; your years do not come to an end. 28 The children of your servants will settle down here, and their descendants will live securely in your presence.”
