Psalm 88:14 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 88.

10 Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah

11 Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?

13 But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.

14 Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.

16 Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.

17 All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.

18 You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
