Psalm 88:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God,

My eye has grown dim from vexation, and all my members are like a shadow.

my eyes flow with rivers of tears because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Jesus wept.

O LORD, God of my salvation; I cry out day and night before you.

Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

Nobles shall come from Egypt; Cush shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.

I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

Then the word of the LORD came to me:

"If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him.
