Common English Bible CEB
New International Version NIV
1 LORD, God of my salvation, by day I cry out, even at night, before you—
1
LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2 let my prayer reach you! Turn your ear to my outcry
2
May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 because my whole being is filled with distress; my life is at the very brink of hell.
3
I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4 I am considered as one of those plummeting into the pit. I am like those who are beyond help,
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5 drifting among the dead, lying in the grave, like dead bodies— those you don't remember anymore, those who are cut off from your power.
5
I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
6 You placed me down in the deepest pit, in places dark and deep.
6
You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
