The Rhetoric of the Grave

Psalms 88:10-13

Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? Selah.

Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?

Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?

But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before thee.
