Psalm 88:12

A Cry Of Desperation

¹¹
Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave
Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon (the underworld)?
¹² 
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness [where the dead forget and are forgotten]? ¹³
But I have cried out to You, O Lord, for help;
And in the morning my prayer will come to You.

All Things

In the Darkness

Wondrous Works

To the land of darkness and the deep shadow [of death],

Psalm 31:12

I am like a broken vessel.

Psalm 88:5

Cast away [from the living] and abandoned among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in a [nameless] grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are cut off from Your hand.

For the enemy has persecuted me,
He has crushed my life down to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have been long dead.

Ecclesiastes 8:10

So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place [but did not thereby escape their doom], and they are [praised in spite of their evil and] soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility (vanity, emptiness).

Isaiah 8:22

Then they will look to the earth, they will see only distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness and overwhelming night.

Matthew 8:12

while the sons and heirs of the kingdom [the descendants of Abraham who will not recognize Me as Messiah] will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place [which is farthest removed from the kingdom] there will be weeping [in sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [in distress and anger].”

Jude 1:13

wild waves of the sea, flinging up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of deep darkness has been reserved forever.
