## Psalms 88:11-16 in Context (Verses 8–18 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/88/8) 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.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/88/9) Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/88/10) Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise *and* praise thee? Selah.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/88/11) Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? *or* thy faithfulness in destruction?
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/88/12) Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/88/13) But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/88/14) LORD, why castest thou off my soul? *why* hidest thou thy face from me?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/88/15) I *am* afflicted and ready to die from *my* youth up: *while* I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/88/16) Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/88/17) They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/88/18) Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, *and* mine acquaintance into darkness.
