1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:→2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;→3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.→4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:→5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.→6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.→7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.→8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.→9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.→10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.→11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?→12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?→13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.→14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?→15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.→16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.→17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.→18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.→
