The Rhetoric of the Grave

Psalms 88:10-13

To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.

Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?

Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.
