1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:studyinterlinear

2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;studyinterlinear

3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.studyinterlinear

4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:studyinterlinear

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.studyinterlinear

6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.studyinterlinear

7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.studyinterlinear

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.studyinterlinear

9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.studyinterlinear

10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.studyinterlinear

11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?studyinterlinear

12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?studyinterlinear

13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.studyinterlinear

14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?studyinterlinear

15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.studyinterlinear

16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.studyinterlinear

17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.studyinterlinear

18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.studyinterlinear
