Psalm 88:9-13
King James Version
9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

Psalm 88:9-13
New International Version
9 my eyes(A) are dim with grief.
I call(B) to you, Lord, every day;
I spread out my hands(C) to you.
10 Do you show your wonders to the dead?
Do their spirits rise up and praise you?(D)
11 Is your love declared in the grave,
your faithfulness(E) in Destruction[a]?
12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
