10. (11) Wilt Thou show wonders to the mesim? Shall the lifeless arise and praise Thee? Selah.
11. (12) Shall Thy chesed be declared in the kever? Or Thy emunah in Avaddon?
12. (13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the choshech? And Thy tzedakah in the Eretz Neshiyyah (land of forgetfulness, oblivion)?
13. (14) But unto Thee have I cried, Hashem; and in the boker shall my tefillah come before Thee.
14. (15) Hashem, why castest Thou off my nefesh? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
15. (16) I am afflicted and govei'a (one being close to death) from my youth up; while I suffer Thy terrors I am distraught.
16. (17) Thy charon (fierce wrath) goeth over me; Thy terrors have flayed me.
17. (18) They came round about me daily like mayim; they close in, engulfing me.
18. (19) Ohev (lover) and re'a (companion) hast Thou estranged from me, and mine acquaintances are in darkness.
