|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
|
2. Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry!
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
|
3. For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
|
4. I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am a man who has no strength,
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
|
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.
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
|
6. You have put me in the depths of the pit, in the regions dark and deep.
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
|
7. Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Selah
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
|
8. You have caused my companions to shun me; you have made me a horror to them. I am shut in so that I cannot escape;
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
|
9. my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call upon you, O LORD; I spread out my hands to you.
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
|
10. Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
|
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
|
11. Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
|
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
|
12. Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
|
13. But I, O LORD, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
|
|
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
|
14. O LORD, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me?
|
|
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
|
15. Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
|
|
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
|
16. Your wrath has swept over me; your dreadful assaults destroy me.
|
|
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
|
17. They surround me like a flood all day long; they close in on me together.
|
|
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
|
18. You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me; my companions have become darkness.
