Psalm 88:1-2

The Voice

Psalm 88

For the worship leader. A song of the sons of Korah accompanied by dance.^[a] A contemplative song^[b] of Heman the Ezrahite.

This individual lament was composed by someone afflicted with a grave illness, feeling lonely and abandoned by God. This song is reminiscent of Job’s sufferings.

¹O Eternal One! O True God my Savior!
I cry out to You all the time, under the sun and the moon.
²Let my voice reach You!
Please listen to my prayers!
