1
A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
-
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.
