3 For my soul is full of troubles,

And my life cdraws near to the grave.

4 I am counted with those who dgo 3down to the pit;

eI am like a man who has no strength,

5 4Adrift 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.

7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,

And You have afflicted me with all fYour waves.

Selah

8 gYou have 5put away my acquaintances far from me;

You have made me an abomination to them;

hI am shut up, and I cannot get out;

9 My eye wastes away because of affliction.

iLord, I have called daily upon You;

I have stretched out my hands to You.

10 Will You work wonders for the dead?

Shall 6the dead arise and praise You?

Selah

11 Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?

Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?

12 Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?

And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
