1. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
2. Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;
3. For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws near unto the grave.
4. I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:
5. Adrift among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
