9. my eye is dim from my affliction. Lord, I call daily upon You,and I have stretched out my hands to You.
10. Will You show wonders to the dead?Shall the dead rise up to praise You? Selah
11. Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave,or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12. Shall Your wonders be known in the darknessor Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13. But unto You have I cried, O Lord,and in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14. O Lord, why do You cast away my soul?Why do You hide Your face from me?
15. I am afflicted and close to death since my youth;while I suffer Your terrors I am helpless.
16. Your fierce wrath sweeps over me;Your terrors destroy me.
17. They come around me daily like a flood;they encircle me together.
