1 | O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before
thee: |
|
2 | Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; |
|
3 | For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto
the grave. |
|
4 | I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a
man that hath no strength: |
|
5 | Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave,
whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy
hand. |
|
6 | Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the
deeps. |
|
7 | Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with
all thy waves. Selah. |
|
8 | Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast
made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot
come forth. |
|
9 | Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called
daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
|
10 | Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and
praise thee? Selah. |
|
11 | Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction? |
|
12 | Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness
in the land of forgetfulness? |
|
13 | But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall
my prayer prevent thee. |
|
14 | LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face
from me? |
|
15 | I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I
suffer thy terrors I am distracted. |
|
16 | Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. |
|
17 | They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me
about together. |
|
18 | Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine
acquaintance into darkness. |
|
