A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of Korah,H7141 to the chiefH5329 MusicianH5329 upon MahalathH4257 Leannoth,H6030 MaschilH4905 of HemanH1968 the Ezrahite.H250 O lordH3068 GodH430 of my salvation,H3444 I have criedH6817 dayH3117 and nightH3915 beforeH5048 you:
2
Let my prayerH8605 comeH935 beforeH6440 you: inclineH5186 your earH241 to my cry;H7440
3
For my soulH5315 is fullH7654 of troubles:H7451 and my lifeH2416 draws nearH5060 to the grave.H7585
4
I am countedH2803 with them that goH3381 downH3381 into the pit:H953 I amH1961 as a manH1397 that has noH369 strength:H353
5
FreeH2670 among the dead,H4191 likeH3644 the slainH2491 that lieH7901 in the grave,H6913 whomH834 you rememberH2142 noH3808 more:H5750 and they are cutH1504 off from your hand.H3027
6
You have laidH7896 me in the lowestH8482 pit,H953 in darkness,H4285 in the deeps.H4688
7
Your wrathH2534 liesH5564 hardH5564 on me, and you have afflictedH6031 me with allH3605 your waves.H4867 Selah.H5542
8
You have putH7368 awayH7368 my acquaintanceH3045 farH7368 from me; you have madeH7896 me an abominationH8441 to them: I am shutH3607 up, and I cannotH3808 comeH3318 forth.H3318
9
My eyeH5869 mournsH1669 by reasonH4480 of affliction:H6040 LORD,H3068 I have calledH7121 dailyH3605 H3117 on you, I have stretchedH7849 out my handsH3709 to you.
10
Will you showH6213 wondersH6382 to the dead?H4191 shall the deadH7496 ariseH6965 and praiseH3034 you? Selah.H5542
11
Shall your loving kindnessH2617 be declaredH5608 in the grave?H6913 or your faithfulnessH530 in destruction?H11
12
Shall your wondersH6382 be knownH3045 in the dark?H2822 and your righteousnessH6666 in the landH776 of forgetfulness?H5388
13
But to you have I cried,H7768 O LORD;H3068 and in the morningH1242 shall my prayerH8605 preventH6923 you.
14
LORD,H3068 whyH4100 castH2186 you off my soul?H5315 why hideH5641 you your faceH6440 from me?
15
I am afflictedH6041 and ready to dieH1478 from my youthH5290 up: while I sufferH5375 your terrorsH367 I am distracted.H6323
16
Your fierce wrathH2740 goesH5674 overH5674 me; your terrorsH1161 have cutH6789 me off.
17
They cameH5437 roundH5437 about me dailyH3605 H3117 like water;H4325 they compassedH5362 me about together.H3162
18
LoverH157 and friendH7453 have you putH7368 farH7368 from me, and my acquaintanceH3045 into darkness.H4285
