New International Reader's Version NIRV
New International Version NIV
1 Lord, you are the God who saves me. Day and night I cry out to you.
1
LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2 Please hear my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.
2
May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 I have so many troubles I'm about to die.
3
I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4 People think my life is over. I'm like someone who doesn't have any strength.
4
I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5 People treat me as if I were dead. I'm like those who have been killed and are now in the grave. You don't even remember them anymore. They are cut off from your care.
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 It seems as if you have put me deep down in the grave, that deep and dark place.
6
You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
