Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 12 is found in chapter 88 of Psalms. Psalm 88 is one of the darkest laments in the Psalter and ends without an explicit resolution. The petitioner is near death, isolated from friends, and surrounded by affliction. Precisely for this reason it is theologically significant: biblical prayer allows an experience to be brought before God even when no explanation or visible restoration has yet appeared. The continued cry to the Lord keeps the relationship open even within darkness.

Wird man in Gräbern erzählen deine Güte, und deine Treue im Verderben?
¿Será conocida en las tinieblas tu maravilla, Ni tu justicia en la tierra del olvido?
¿Se conocerán tus maravillas en la oscuridad, o tu justicia en la tierra del olvido?
Tes prodiges sont-ils connus dans les ténèbres, Et ta justice dans la terre de l'oubli?
Le tue maraviglie si conosceranno esse nelle tenebre? E la tua giustizia nella terra dell’obblio?
Saber-se-ão as tuas maravilhas nas trevas, e a tua justiça na terra do esquecimento?
你的奇事豈能在幽暗裏為人所知嗎? 你的公義豈能在遺忘之地為人所識嗎?
