"Before you" see Ps. 38:9 This Psalm records a cry before God. How is it that the Psalmist cries out "before God" day and night (vs. 1) and yet his prayer is that his prayer would come "before God"? What does that mean to be "before God" and still want to be "before God"? The answer must be found in the next phrase - "incline your ear to my cry". There must be a sense of pouring out a cry before God yet feeling like you haven't yet been heard.

Incline Your ear to my cry!

For my soul is full of troubles,

And my life has drawn near to Sheol.

and my life draws near to Sheol.

ground

I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit;

I am counted among those who go down to the pit;

I have become like a man without strength,

I am a man who has no strength,

Forsaken among the dead,

like one set loose among the dead,

Like the slain who lie in the grave,

like the slain that lie in the grave,

Whom You remember no more,

like those whom you remember no more,

And they are cut off from Your hand.

for they are cut off from your hand.

ideaexplanation

You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.

Your wrath has rested upon me,

Your wrath lies heavy upon me,

And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.

and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah

You have removed my acquaintances far from me;

You have caused my companions to shun me;

You have made me an object of loathing to them;

you have made me a horror to them.

I am shut up and cannot go out.

I am shut in so that I cannot escape;

My eye has wasted away because of affliction;

my eye grows dim through sorrow.

I have called upon You every day, O LORD;

Every day I call upon you, O LORD;

I have spread out my hands to You.

I spread out my hands to you.

Will You perform wonders for the dead?

Do you work wonders for the dead?

Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah

Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave,

Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,

Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness?

Are your wonders known in the darkness,

And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

But I, O LORD, have cried out to You for help,

But I, O LORD, cry to you;

And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

in the morning my prayer comes before you.

O LORD, why do You reject my soul?

O LORD, why do you cast my soul away?

Why do You hide Your face from me?

Why do you hide your face from me?

They surround me like a flood

all day long;

all day long;

temporal

They have encompassed me altogether.

they close in on me together.

You have removed lover and friend far from me;

You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;

My acquaintances are in darkness.

my companions have become darkness.
