- 1. <A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.><br>
Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you. - 2. Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
- 3. For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.
- 4. I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
- 5. set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
- 6. You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
- 7. Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
- 8. You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.
- 9. My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you.
- 10. Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.
- 11. Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
- 12. Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
- 13. But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
- 14. Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
- 15. I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
- 16. Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
- 17. They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
- 18. You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
