10. Do you do miracles for the dead? Do ghosts rise up and praise you? No! Selah
11. The dead in their graves cannot talk about your faithful love. People in the world of the dead cannot talk about your faithfulness.
12. The dead who lie in darkness cannot see the amazing things you do. Those in the world of the forgotten cannot talk about your goodness.
13. Lord, I am asking you to help me! Early each morning I pray to you.
14. Lord, why have you abandoned me? Why do you refuse to listen to me?
15. I have been sick and weak since I was young. I have suffered your anger, and I am helpless.
16. Your anger covers me like a flood. Your attacks are killing me.
17. They surround me on every side. I feel like a drowning man.
