1. Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee.
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.
7. Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
8. Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
