Psalms 88:7
5 I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
6 You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah
8 You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
9 My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
