1 Lord, the cGod of my salvation,
I have dcried out by day and in the night before You.
2 Let my prayer ecome before You;
fIncline Your ear to my cry!
3 For my gsoul has
Or been satisfied with
had enough troubles,
And imy life has approached
I.e., the netherworld
Sheol.
4 I am counted among those who kgo down to the pit;
I have become like a man lwithout strength,
5
Lit A freed one among the dead
Abandoned namong the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are ocut off from Your hand.
6 You have put me in pthe lowest pit,
In qdark places, in the rdepths.
7 Your wrath shas rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with tall Your waves. Selah
