1	שִׁ֥יר מִזְמ֗וֹר לִבְנֵ֫י קֹ֥רַח לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ עַל־ מָחֲלַ֣ת לְעַנּ֑וֹת מַ֝שְׂכִּ֗יל לְהֵימָ֥ן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ יְ֭הוָה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יְשׁוּעָתִ֑י יוֹם־ צָעַ֖קְתִּי בַלַּ֣יְלָה נֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃	O LORD, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you.	A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
2	תָּב֣וֹא לְ֭פָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַטֵּֽה־ אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃	Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry!	May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3	כִּֽי־ שָֽׂבְעָ֣ה בְרָע֣וֹת נַפְשִׁ֑י וְחַיַּ֗י לִשְׁא֥וֹל הִגִּֽיעוּ׃	For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.	I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
4	נֶ֭חְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־ י֣וֹרְדֵי ב֑וֹר הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּגֶ֣בֶר אֵֽין־ אֱיָֽל׃	I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am a man who has no strength,	I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
5	בַּמֵּתִ֗ים חָ֫פְשִׁ֥י כְּמ֤וֹ חֲלָלִ֨ים ׀ שֹׁ֥כְבֵי קֶ֗בֶר אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹ֣א זְכַרְתָּ֣ם ע֑וֹד וְ֝הֵ֗מָּה מִיָּדְךָ֥ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃	like 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.	I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
6	שַׁ֭תַּנִי בְּב֣וֹר תַּחְתִּיּ֑וֹת בְּ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים בִּמְצֹלֽוֹת׃	You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep.	You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
7	עָ֭לַי סָמְכָ֣ה חֲמָתֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־ מִ֝שְׁבָּרֶ֗יךָ עִנִּ֥יתָ סֶּֽלָה׃	Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah	Your wrath lies heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.
8	הִרְחַ֥קְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי שַׁתַּ֣נִי תוֹעֵב֣וֹת לָ֑מוֹ כָּ֝לֻ֗א וְלֹ֣א אֵצֵֽא׃	You have caused my companions to shun me; you have made me a horror to them. I am shut in so that I cannot escape;	You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape;
9	עֵינִ֥י דָאֲבָ֗ה מִנִּ֫י עֹ֥נִי קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־ י֑וֹם שִׁטַּ֖חְתִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ כַפָּֽי׃	my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call upon you, O LORD; I spread out my hands to you.	my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you.
10	הֲלַמֵּתִ֥ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־ פֶּ֑לֶא אִם־ רְ֝פָאִ֗ים יָק֤וּמוּ ׀ יוֹד֬וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃	Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah	Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?
11	הַיְסֻפַּ֣ר בַּקֶּ֣בֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בָּאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃	Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon?	Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction?
12	הֲיִוָּדַ֣ע בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶ֑ךָ וְ֝צִדְקָתְךָ֗ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃	Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?	Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
13	וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה שִׁוַּ֑עְתִּי וּ֝בַבֹּ֗קֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃	But I, O LORD, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.	But I cry to you for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14	לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּזְנַ֣ח נַפְשִׁ֑י תַּסְתִּ֖יר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃	O LORD, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me?	Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?
15	עָ֘נִ֤י אֲנִ֣י וְגֹוֵ֣עַ מִנֹּ֑עַר נָשָׂ֖אתִי אֵמֶ֣יךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃	Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.	From my youth I have suffered and been close to death; I have borne your terrors and am in despair.
16	עָ֭לַי עָבְר֣וּ חֲרוֹנֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝עוּתֶ֗יךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃	Your wrath has swept over me; your dreadful assaults destroy me.	Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.
17	סַבּ֣וּנִי כַ֭מַּיִם כָּל־ הַיּ֑וֹם הִקִּ֖יפוּ עָלַ֣י יָֽחַד׃	They surround me like a flood all day long; they close in on me together.	All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me.
18	הִרְחַ֣קְתָּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי אֹהֵ֣ב וָרֵ֑עַ מְֽיֻדָּעַ֥י מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃	You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me; my companions have become darkness.	You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend.
