- LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
- May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
- I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death.
- I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength.
- 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.
- You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
- Your wrath lies heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.[4]
- You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape;
- my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you.
- Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?
- Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction[5]?
- Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
- But I cry to you for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
- Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?
- From my youth I have suffered and been close to death; I have borne your terrors and am in despair.
- Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me.
- All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me.
- You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend.
