12. (13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the choshech? And Thy tzedakah in the Eretz Neshiyyah (land of forgetfulness, oblivion)?
13. (14) But unto Thee have I cried, Hashem; and in the boker shall my tefillah come before Thee.
14. (15) Hashem, why castest Thou off my nefesh? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
15. (16) I am afflicted and govei'a (one being close to death) from my youth up; while I suffer Thy terrors I am distraught.
16. (17) Thy charon (fierce wrath) goeth over me; Thy terrors have flayed me.
17. (18) They came round about me daily like mayim; they close in, engulfing me.
18. (19) Ohev (lover) and re'a (companion) hast Thou estranged from me, and mine acquaintances are in darkness.
