A Petition to Be Saved from Death.
1
O
LORD
, the
1
God
of my
salvation
, I have
2
cried
out by
day
and in the
night
before
You.
2
Let my
prayer
3
come
before
You;
4
Incline
Your
ear
to my
cry
!
3
For my
5
soul
has
had
enough
troubles
, And
6
my
life
has
drawn
near
to
Sheol
.
4
I am
reckoned
among
those who
7
go
down
to the
pit
; I
have
become
like a
man
8
without
strength
,
5
Forsaken
9
among the
dead
,
Like
the
slain
who
lie
in the
grave
,
Whom
You
remember
no
more
, And they are
10
cut
off
from Your
hand
.
6
You have
put
me in
11
the
lowest
pit
, In
12
dark
places
, in the
13
depths
.
7
Your
wrath
14
has
rested
upon me, And You have
afflicted
me with
15
all
Your
waves
.
Selah
.
8
You have
removed
16
my
acquaintances
far
from me; You have
made
me an
17
object
of
loathing
to them; I am
18
shut
up and
cannot
go
out.
9
My
19
eye
has
wasted
away
because
of
affliction
; I have
20
called
upon You
every
day
, O
LORD
; I have
21
spread
out my
hands
to You.
10
Will You
perform
wonders
for the
dead
? Will
22
the
departed
spirits
rise
and
praise
You?
Selah
.
11
Will Your
lovingkindness
be
declared
in the
grave
, Your
faithfulness
in
Abaddon
?
12
Will Your
wonders
be
made
known
in the
23
darkness
? And Your
righteousness
in the
land
of
forgetfulness
?
13
But I, O
LORD
, have
cried
out
24
to You for
help
, And
25
in the
morning
my
prayer
comes
before
You.
14
O
LORD
,
why
26
do You
reject
my
soul
? Why do You
27
hide
Your
face
from me?
15
I was
afflicted
and
28
about to
die
from my
youth
on; I
suffer
29
Your
terrors
; I am
overcome
.
16
Your
30
burning
anger
has
passed
over
me; Your
terrors
have
31
destroyed
me.
17
They have
32
surrounded
me
33
like
water
all
day
long; They have
34
encompassed
me
altogether
.
18
You have
removed
35
lover
and
friend
far
from me; My
acquaintances
are in
darkness
.
