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 Sheol.

4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;

I am a man who has no strength,

5 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.

6 You have put me in the depths of the pit,

in the regions dark and deep.

2 Let my prayer come before thee:

Incline thine ear unto my cry;

3 For my soul is full of troubles:

And my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit:

I am as a man that hath no strength:

5 Free among the dead,

Like the slain that lie in the grave,

Whom thou rememberest no more:

And they are cut off from thy hand.

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,

In darkness, in the deeps.

2 Now hear my prayer;

listen to my cry.

3 For my life is full of troubles,

and death draws near.

4 I am as good as dead,

like a strong man with no strength left.

5 They have left me among the dead,

and I lie like a corpse in a grave.

I am forgotten,

cut off from your care.

6 You have thrown me into the lowest pit,

into the darkest depths.

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.

2 Receive my prayer,

and listen to my cry.

3 My life is full of troubles,

and I am nearly dead.

4 They think I am on the way to my grave.

I am like a man with no strength.

5 I have been left as dead,

like a body lying in a grave

whom you don’t remember anymore,

cut off from your care.

6 You have brought me close to death;

I am almost in the dark place of the dead.

2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence;

Incline thine ear unto my cry.

3 For my soul is full of troubles,

And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

4 I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit;

I am as a man that hath no help,

5 Cast off among the dead,

Like the slain that lie in the grave,

Whom thou rememberest no more,

And they are cut off from thy hand.

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,

In dark places, in the deeps.

2 Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry. 3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol. 4 I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength: 5 Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand. 6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.

2 Let my prayer come into your presence. 

Turn your ear to hear my cries. 

3 My soul is filled with troubles, 

and my life comes closer to the grave. 

4 I am numbered with those who go into the pit. 

I am like a man without any strength— 

5 abandoned with the dead, 

like those who have been killed and lie in graves, 

like those whom you no longer remember, 

who are cut off from your power. 

6 You have put me in the bottom of the pit—in deep, dark places. 

2 May my prayer reach Your presence;

listen to my cry.

3 For I have had enough troubles,

and my life is near Sheol.

4 I am counted among those going down to the Pit.

I am like a man without strength,

5 abandoned among the dead.

I am like the slain lying in the grave,

whom You no longer remember,

and who are cut off from Your care.

6 You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit,

in the darkest places, in the depths.

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 Sheol.

4 I am counted among those who go down to the Pit;

I am like those who have no help,

5 like those forsaken 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.

6 You have put me in the depths of the Pit,

in the regions dark and deep.

2 Let my prayer come before you;

incline your ear to my cry.

3 For my soul is full with troubles,

and my life approaches Sheol.

4 I am reckoned with those descending to the pit.

I am like a man without strength,

5 set free among the dead,

like the slain lying in the grave,

whom you no longer remember,

even those cut off from your hand.

6 You have set me in the pit below,

in dark places, in the depths.

2 Please hear my prayer.

Pay attention to my cry for help.

3 I have so many troubles

I’m about to die.

4 People think my life is over.

I’m like someone who doesn’t have any strength.

5 People treat me as if I were dead.

I’m like those who have been killed and are now in the grave.

You don’t even remember them anymore.

They are cut off from your care.

6 It seems as if you have put me deep down in the grave,

that deep and dark place.

2 Let my prayer come before You;

Incline Your ear to my cry!

3 For my soul has had enough troubles,

And my life has drawn near to Sheol.

4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit;

I have become like a man without strength,

5 Forsaken among the dead,

Like the slain who lie in the grave,

Whom You remember no more,

And they are cut off from Your hand.

6 You have put me in the lowest pit,

In dark places, in the depths.
