O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.
2May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.2Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry!
3For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.3For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.
4I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.4I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,
5I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.5Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand.
6You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.6You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
7Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah7Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.
8You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.8You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out.
9My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.9My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon You every day, O LORD; I have spread out my hands to You.
10Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah10Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.
11Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?11Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?12Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.13But I, O LORD, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?14O LORD, why do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?
15From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.15I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.
16Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.16Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
17All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.17They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.
18You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.18You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.
