1. O Lord, God of my salvation,I cry out day and night before You.
2. Let my prayer come before You;incline Your ear to my cry.
3. For my soul is full of troubles,and my life draws near to Sheol.
4. I am counted with those who go down to the grave;I am a man who has no strength,
5. like one who is set free among the dead,like the slain who lie in the grave,like those whom You remember no more,for they are cut off from Your hand.
6. You have laid me in the depths of the pit,in dark and deep regions.
7. Your wrath lies heavy upon me,and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah
8. You have caused my companions to be far from me;You have made me an abomination to them;I am shut up, and I cannot escape;
