and have made me repulsive to them.

I spread out my hands to you.

10 Do you show your wonders to the dead?

Do their spirits rise up and praise you?

in the regions dark and deep.

and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah

10 Do you work wonders for the dead?

Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit,

In darkness, in the deeps.

8 Thou 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.

9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction:

Lord, I have called daily upon thee,

I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?

Shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

6 You have thrown me into the lowest pit,

into the darkest depths.

7 Your anger weighs me down;

with wave after wave you have engulfed me.

10 Are your wonderful deeds of any use to the dead?

Do the dead rise up and praise you?
