Psalm 88:1-4 New International Version (NIV)

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

2. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.

3. I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.

4. I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
