May there be knowledge of your wonders in the dark? or of your righteousness where memory is dead?

But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.

Psalms 88:14

Lord, why have you sent away my soul? why is your face covered from me?

I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.

The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.

They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me.
