8. You have removed my acquaintances far from me. You have made me detestable to them. I am confined and cannot go out.
9. My eye languishes from misery. I call on you, O Yahweh, every day; I spread out my hands to you.
10. Do you work wonders for the dead? Or do the departed spirits rise up to praise you? Selah
11. Is your loyal love told in the grave, or your faithfulness in the underworld?
12. Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13. But as for me, I cry for help to you, O Yahweh, and in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14. Why do you reject my soul, O Yahweh? Why do you hide your face from me?
15. I am afflicted and perishing from my youth. I bear your terrors. I am distraught.
16. Your burning anger has passed over me; your sudden fears have destroyed me.
17. They surround me like water all the day; they circle about me altogether.
