Psalms 88:11
9 My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
10 Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon ?
12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
13 But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
