1 Lord, God of my salvation,

I cry out before you day and night.x

2 May my prayer reach your presence;

listen to my cry.y

3 For I have had enough troubles,

and my life is near Sheol.z

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

I am like a man without strength,ab

5 abandonedF among the dead.

I am like the slain lying in the grave,ac

whom you no longer remember,

and who are cut off from your care.G,ad

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

in the darkest places, in the depths.ae

7 Your wrath weighs heavily on me;af

you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.a

Selah
