Psalms 88:2
1 O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.
4 I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
