1. O Yahweh, God of my salvation, I cry out by day and through the night before you.
2. Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry.
3. For my soul is full with troubles, and my life approaches Sheol.
4. I am reckoned with those descending to the pit. I am like a man without strength,
5. set free among the dead, like the slain lying in the grave, whom you no longer remember, even those cut off from your hand.
6. You have set me in the pit below, in dark places, in the depths.
