| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1LORD, God of my salvation, by day and by night I cry out before you. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Let my prayer come before you; listen to my cry. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For my life is filled with troubles as I approach Sheol. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I am considered as one of those descending into the Pit, like a mighty man without strength, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5released to remain with the dead, lying in a grave like a corpse, remembered no longer, and cut off from your power. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6You have assigned me to the lowest part of the Pit, to the darkest depths. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Your anger lies heavily upon me; you pound me with all your waves. Interlude |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8You caused my acquaintances to shun me; you make me extremely abhorrent to them. Restrained, I am unable to go out. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9My eyes languish on account of my affliction; all day long I call out to you, LORD, I spread out my hands to you. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Can you perform wonders for the dead? Can departed spirits stand up to praise you? Interlude |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Can your gracious love be declared in the grave or your faithfulness in Abaddon? |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Can your awesome deeds be known in darkness or your righteousness in the land of oblivion? |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13As for me, I cry out to you LORD, and in the morning my prayer greets you. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Why, LORD, have you rejected me? Why have you hidden your face from me? |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Since my youth I have been oppressed and in danger of death. I bear your dread and am overwhelmed. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Your burning anger overwhelms me; your terrors destroy me. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Like waters, they engulf me all day long; they surround me on all sides. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You caused my friend and neighbor to shun me; and my acquaintances are confused. |
