Psalm 88:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Lord, you are the God who saves me. Day and night I cry out to you.

2. Please hear my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.

3. I have so many troubles I'm about to die.

4. People think my life is over. I'm like someone who doesn't have any strength.

5. People treat me as if I were dead. I'm like those who have been killed and are now in the grave. You don't even remember them anymore. They are cut off from your care.
