O lord 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 come before thee:
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
the
grave
.
For my soul is full of troubles ,
and my life draws
near
to
Sheol
.
I am counted with
them
that
go
down
into
the pit :
I am as
a man that
hath
no
strength :
I am counted among
those
descending
to
the Pit .
I am like
a man without
strength .
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
.
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 darkness,
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
away
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
mourneth
by
reason
of
affliction:
LORD,
I have
called
daily upon
thee
, I have
stretched
out 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
shew
wonders to
the dead? shall
the
dead
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
have
I
cried
, O LORD; and
in the morning shall
my prayer prevent
thee
.
But to
You
, O LORD ,
I
cry
for
help
; in the morning my prayer comes
before
You
.
LORD, 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 goeth
over me; thy
terrors have cut
me off
.
Your
wrath has
swept
over me; Your
terrors have destroyed
me.
They came
round
about
me daily
like water; 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.
You
have
removed
my
beloved
and my
friend ;
darkness is
my
closest
companion
.
