ne.shiy.yah names forgetfulness in its sole attested setting, a verse of crying to the LORD in prayer.

The sole occurrence places this feminine singular absolute noun in Psalm 88:13, whose prayerful setting confirms only a contextual use concerning forgetfulness; the translation does not isolate its contribution.

    In Psalm 88:13, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in a verse addressed to the LORD. The APB renders the verse, “But I have cried to you, O LORD, and in the morning my prayer comes to meet you,” but its loose wording does not identify a matching English expression for the noun.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 88:13, the APB presents a cry to the LORD and morning prayer, but does not visibly isolate a rendering for this noun.
