2 Let my prayer come before thee incline thine ear unto my cry
3 For my soul is full of troubles and my life draweth nigh unto the grave
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit I am as a man that hath no strength
5 Free among the dead like the slain that lie in the grave whom thou rememberest no more and they are cut off from thy hand
6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit in darkness in the deeps
7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves Selah
8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me thou hast made me an abomination unto them I am shut up and I cannot come forth
9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction LORD I have called daily upon thee I have stretched out my hands unto thee
10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead shall the dead arise and praise thee Selah
11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave or thy faithfulness in destruction
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness
13 But unto thee have I cried O LORD and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee
14 LORD why castest thou off my soul why hidest thou thy face from me
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me thy terrors have cut me off
17 They came round about me daily like water they compassed me about together
18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me and mine acquaintance into darkness
