| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1O LORD, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry! |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am a man who has no strength, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5like one set loose among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, like those whom you remember no more, for they are cut off from your hand. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8You have caused my companions to shun me; you have made me a horror to them. I am shut in so that I cannot escape; |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call upon you, O LORD; I spread out my hands to you. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon? |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But I, O LORD, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14O LORD, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me? |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Your wrath has swept over me; your dreadful assaults destroy me. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17They surround me like a flood all day long; they close in on me together. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me; my companions have become darkness. |
