The Rhetoric of the Grave

Psalms 88:10-13

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? [Selah

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
