| O LORD God of my salvation,
| |
| I have cried day and night before you: |
|
|
| let my prayer come before you:
| |
| incline your ear unto my cry; |
|
|
| for my soul is full of troubles:
| |
| and my life draws nigh unto the grave. |
|
|
| I am counted with them that go down into the pit:
| |
| I am as a man that has no strength: |
|
|
| free among the dead,
| |
| like the slain that lie in the grave, |
| whom you remember no more: |
| and they are cut off from your hand. |
|
|
| You have laid me in the lowest pit,
| |
| in darkness, in the deeps. |
|
|
| Your wrath lies hard upon me,
| |
and you have afflicted me with all your waves.
|
|
|
| You have put away my acquaintance far from me;
| |
| you have made me an abomination unto them: |
| I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
|
|
| My eye mourns by reason of affliction:
| |
| LORD, I have called daily upon you, |
| I have stretched out my hands unto you. |
|
|
| Will you show wonders to the dead?
| |
Shall the dead arise and praise you?
|
|
|
| Shall your loving-kindness be declared in the grave?
| |
| or your faithfulness in destruction? |
|
|
| Shall your wonders be known in the dark?
| |
| and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
|
|
| But unto you have I cried, O LORD;
| |
| and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you. |
|
|
| LORD, why cast you off my soul?
| |
| Why hide you your face from me? |
|
|
| I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:
| |
| while I suffer your terrors I am distracted. |
|
|
| Your fierce wrath goes over me;
| |
| your terrors have cut me off. |
|
|
| They came round about me daily like water;
| |
| they compassed me about together. |
|
|
| Lover and friend have you put far from me,
| |
| and mine acquaintance into darkness |
|
|
