Psalm 88:3

A Cry Of Desperation

²
Let my prayer come before You and enter into Your presence;
Incline Your ear to my cry!
³ 
For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draws near the grave (Sheol, the place of the dead).

I am counted among those who go down to the pit (grave);
I am like a man who has no strength [a mere shadow],
