1. Hashem Elohei Yeshuati (G-d of my salvation), I have cried out yom valailah before Thee.
2. (3) Let my tefillah come before Thee; incline Thine ear unto my cry;
3. (4) For my nefesh is full of troubles; and my life draweth near unto Sheol.
4. (5) I am counted with them that go down into the bor (pit); I am like a gever (man) that hath no strength;
5. (6) Forsaken among the mesim, like the slain that lie in the kever, whom Thou rememberest no more; and nigzaru (they are cut off, excluded; see Isa 53:8) from Thy Yad (hand, power, care).
