1. O Lord God of my saving health, I cry 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 draws near unto Sheol.
4. I am counted with those that go down into the pit; I am as a man that has no strength:
5. Freed among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou dost remember 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 lies hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
8. Thou hast put away mine acquaintances far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
