O
LORD God of my
salvation, I have
cried day and
night before thee:

Let my
prayer come before thee:
incline thine
ear unto my
cry;

For my
soul is
full of
troubles: and my
life draweth
nigh unto the
grave.

I am
counted with them that go
down into the
pit: I am as a
man that hath no
strength:

Free among the
dead, like the
slain that
lie in the
grave, whom thou
rememberest no more: and they are cut
off from thy
hand.

Thou hast
laid me in the
lowest pit, in
darkness, in the
deeps.

Thy
wrath lieth
hard upon me, and thou hast
afflicted me with all thy
waves. Selah.

Thou hast put
away mine
acquaintance far from me; thou hast
made me an
abomination unto them: I am shut
up, and I cannot come
forth.

Mine
eye mourneth by reason of
affliction: LORD, I have
called daily upon thee, I have stretched
out my
hands unto thee.

Wilt thou
shew wonders to the
dead? shall the
dead arise and
praise thee?
Selah.

Shall thy
lovingkindness be
declared in the
grave? or thy
faithfulness in
destruction?

Shall thy
wonders be

righteousness in the
land of
forgetfulness?

But unto thee have I
cried, O
LORD; and in the
morning shall my
prayer prevent thee.

LORD, why castest thou
off my
soul? why
hidest thou thy
face from me?

I am

die from my

suffer thy
terrors I am
distracted.

Thy fierce
wrath goeth
over me; thy

Lover and

far from me, and mine

darkness.
