Psalms 88:1-4

O Lord God of my salvation Who hast so often saved me in former distresses; I have cried day and night before thee Thus God's own elect are said, by Christ, to cry to him, Luke 18:7; and thus ought men always to pray and not to faint. Let my prayer come before thee To be accepted of thee. For my soul is full of troubles Troubles of mind, from a sense of God's wrath and departure from him, as appears Psalms 88:14. I am counted with them that go down into the pit I am given up by my friends and acquaintance for a lost man.
