1 O LORD , the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.

2 Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry!
2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.

4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,

5 Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand.

6 You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.

7 Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.

9 My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon You every day, O LORD ; I have spread out my hands to You.

10 Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

14 O LORD , why do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?
14 Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?
15 I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.
15 From my youth I have suffered and been close to death; I have borne your terrors and am in despair.
16 Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
16 Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.
17 They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.

18 You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.
18 You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend.
