Psalm 88:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 [a]For my soul is filled with troubles;(A)
my life draws near to Sheol.
5 I am reckoned with those who go down to the pit;
I am like a warrior without strength.
6 My couch is among the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave.
You remember them no more;
they are cut off from your influence.
Footnotes
- 88:4–8 In imagination the psalmist already experiences the alienation of Sheol.

New International Version
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;(A)
I am like one without strength.(B)
5 I am set apart with the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
who are cut off(C) from your care.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit,
in the darkest depths.(D)
