O Jehovah
, the God of my salvation, I
have
cried
day and night before thee
.
A
song.
A
Psalm
of
the
sons
of
Korah.
For
the
choirmaster.
According
to
Mahalath
Leannoth.
A
Maskil
of
Heman
the
Ezrahite.
O LORD
, the God of my salvation, day and night I
cry
out
before You
.
Let
my prayer enter
into
thy
presence
; Incline thine
ear unto
my cry.
May
my prayer come
before
You
; incline Your
ear to
my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth
nigh
unto
Sheol.
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws
near
to
Sheol.
I am reckoned
with
them
that
go
down
into
the pit ;
I am as
a man that
hath
no
help,
I am counted
among
those
descending
to
the Pit .
I am like
a man without
strength.
Cast
off
among the dead, Like the slain that
lie in the grave, Whom thou
rememberest
no more, And
they
are cut off from thy
hand
.
I
am
forsaken
among the dead, like the slain who
lie in the grave, whom You
remember
no more, who
are cut off from Your
care
.
Thou
hast
laid me in the lowest pit, In dark
places,
in
the deeps
.
You
have
laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest
of
the
depths
.
Thy
wrath lieth
hard
upon me ,
And
thou
hast
afflicted
me
with
all thy
waves. Selah
Your
wrath weighs
heavily
upon me ;
all Your
waves have
submerged
me
. Selah
Thou
hast
put
mine
acquaintance
far
from me; Thou
hast
made me an
abomination
unto
them :
I am shut
up,
and I
cannot come
forth
.
You
have
removed
my
friends
from me; You
have
made me repulsive
to
them ;
I am confined
and cannot escape
.
Mine
eye
wasteth
away
by
reason
of
affliction:
I have
called
daily upon
thee
, O Jehovah
; I have
spread forth
my hands unto
thee
.
My
eyes
grow
dim
with
grief.
I call
to
You
daily, O LORD
; I spread out
my hands to
You
.
Wilt
thou
show
wonders to
the dead? Shall
they
that
are
decreased
arise
and
praise thee
? Selah
Do
You
work
wonders for
the dead? Do
departed
spirits
rise
up
to
praise You
? Selah
Shall
thy
lovingkindness
be declared
in the grave ?
Or
thy
faithfulness in Destruction
?
Can
Your
loving
devotion
be proclaimed
in the grave ,
Your
faithfulness in Abaddon
?
Shall
thy
wonders be known in the dark?
And
thy
righteousness in the land of forgetfulness
?
Will
Your
wonders be known in the darkness,
or
Your
righteousness in the land of oblivion
?
But unto
thee
, O Jehovah
, have
I cried
; And
in the morning shall
my prayer come
before thee
.
But to
You
, O LORD
, I cry
for
help
; in the morning my prayer comes
before You
.
Jehovah,
why castest
thou
off
my
soul
? Why hidest
thou
thy
face from me?
Why ,
O
LORD,
do
You
reject
me
? Why do
You
hide
Your
face from me?
I
am
afflicted
and
ready
to
die
from my youth up:
While
I suffer
thy
terrors I am distracted
.
From my youth I was
afflicted
and
near
death.
I
have
borne
Your
terrors ;
I am in
despair
.
Thy
fierce
wrath is
gone
over me; Thy
terrors have cut
me off
.
Your
wrath has
swept
over me; Your
terrors have destroyed
me.
They came
round
about
me like water all
the
day
long
; They compassed
me about
together
.
All
day
long
they engulf
me like water; they enclose
me on
every
side
.
Lover
and friend hast
thou
put
far
from
me,
And
mine
acquaintance
into
darkness .
Psalm
89
Maschil
of
Ethan
the
Ezrahite
.
You
have
removed
my
beloved
and my
friend ;
darkness is
my
closest
companion
.
