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 scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,

My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Jesus wept.

Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.

I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

"If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
