|
1 |
O LORD, God of my
salvation,
I have cried out day and night before You.
|
|
|
2 |
Let my prayer come
before You;
Incline Your ear to my cry.
|
|
3 |
For my soul is full
of troubles,
And my life draws near to the grave.
|
|
4 |
I am counted with
those who go down to the pit;
I am like a man who has no strength,
|
|
5 |
Adrift among the
dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And who are cut off from Your hand.
|
|
6 |
You have laid me in
the lowest pit,
In darkness, in the depths.
|
|
7 |
Your wrath lies
heavy upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah
|
|
8 |
You have put away my
acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an abomination to them;
I am shut up, and I cannot get out;
|
|
9 |
My eye wastes away
because of affliction.
LORD, I have called daily upon You;
I have stretched out my hands to You.
|
|
10 |
Will You work
wonders for the dead?
Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah
|
|
11 |
Shall Your
lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?
|
|
12 |
Shall Your wonders
be known in the dark?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
13 |
But to You I have
cried out, O LORD,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
|
|
14 |
LORD, why do You
cast off my soul?
Why do You hide Your face from me?
|
|
15 |
I have been
afflicted and ready to die from my youth;
I suffer Your terrors;
I am distraught.
|
|
16 |
Your fierce wrath
has gone over me;
Your terrors have cut me off.
|
|
17 |
They came around me
all day long like water;
They engulfed me altogether.
|
|
18 |
Loved one and friend
You have put far from me,
And my acquaintances into darkness.
