Psalms 102:3-28
For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.My heart is afflicted, withered like grass; I even forget to eat my food.Because of the sound of my groaning, my flesh sticks to my bones.I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof.My enemies taunt me all day long; they ridicule and curse me.I eat ashes like bread and mingle my drinks with tearsbecause of Your indignation and wrath; for You have picked me up and thrown me aside.My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass.But You, Lord, are enthroned forever; Your fame endures to all generations.You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her— the appointed time has come.For Your servants take delight in its stones and favor its dust.Then the nations will fear the name of Yahweh, and all the kings of the earth Your glory,for the Lord will rebuild Zion; He will appear in His glory.He will pay attention to the prayer of the destitute and will not despise their prayer.This will be written for a later generation, and a newly created people will praise the Lord:He looked down from His holy heights— the Lord gazed out from heaven to earth—to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to set free those condemned to die,so that they might declare the name of Yahweh in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem,when peoples and kingdoms are assembled to serve the Lord.He has broken my strength in midcourse; He has shortened my days.I say:“ My God, do not take me in the middle of my life! Your years continue through all generations.Long ago You established the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.They will perish, but You will endure; all of them will wear out like clothing. You will change them like a garment, and they will pass away.But You are the same, and Your years will never end.Your servants’ children will dwell securely, and their offspring will be established before You.”

Psalms 88:3-18
For I have had enough troubles, and my life is near Sheol.I am counted among those going down to the Pit. I am like a man without strength,abandoned among the dead. I am like the slain lying in the grave, whom You no longer remember, and who are cut off from Your care.You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths.Your wrath weighs heavily on me; You have overwhelmed me with all Your waves. SelahYou have distanced my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them. I am shut in and cannot go out.My eyes are worn out from crying. Lord, I cry out to You all day long; I spread out my hands to You.Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? SelahWill Your faithful love be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?Will Your wonders be known in the darkness or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?But I call to You for help, Lord; in the morning my prayer meets You.Lord, why do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?From my youth, I have been afflicted and near death. I suffer Your horrors; I am desperate.Your wrath sweeps over me; Your terrors destroy me.They surround me like water all day long; they close in on me from every side.You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me; darkness is my only friend.
