1 - O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.

2 - Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.

3 - For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

4 - I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,

5 - Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

6 - Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.

7 - Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. [Selah

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

9 - Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

10 - Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? [Selah

11 - Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

12 - Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13 - But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.

14 - Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?

15 - I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

16 - Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.

17 - They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.

18 - Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness.
