| 1LORD, God of my salvation, I cry out before you day and night. | 1A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You. |
| 2May my prayer reach your presence; listen to my cry. | 2Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry! |
| 3For I have had enough troubles, and my life is near Sheol. | 3For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol. |
| 4I am counted among those going down 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, |
| 5abandoned among the dead. I am like the slain lying in the grave, whom you no longer remember, and 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 put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths. | 6You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths. |
| 7Your wrath weighs heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. Selah | 7Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah. |
| 8You have distanced my friends from me; you have made me repulsive to them. I am shut in and cannot go out. | 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 are worn out from crying. LORD, I cry out to you all day long; 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? Selah | 10Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah. |
| 11Will your faithful love be declared 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 I call to you for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer meets you. | 13But I, O LORD, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You. |
| 14LORD, why 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 have been suffering and near death. I suffer your horrors; I am desperate. | 15I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome. |
| 16Your wrath sweeps over me; your terrors destroy me. | 16Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me. |
| 17They surround me like water all day long; they close in on me from every side. | 17They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether. |
| 18You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me; darkness is my only friend. | 18You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness. |
