| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For I have had enough troubles, and my life is near Sheol. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I am counted among those going down to the Pit. I am like a man without strength, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Your wrath weighs heavily on me; You have overwhelmed me with all Your waves. Selah |

| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Will Your faithful love be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon? |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Will Your wonders be known in the darkness or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion? |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But I call to You for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer meets You. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14 LORD, why do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me? |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15From my youth, I have been afflicted and near death. I suffer Your horrors; I am desperate. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Your wrath sweeps over me; Your terrors destroy me. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17They surround me like water all day long; they close in on me from every side. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me; darkness is my only friend. |
