| 1. | {A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.} |
| 2. | Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee. |
| 3. | Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry. |
| 4. | For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol. |
| 5. | I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength: |
| 6. | Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand. |
| 7. | Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps. |
| 8. | Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. |
| 9. | Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
| 10. | Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
| 11. | Wilt thou do wonders to the dead? shall the shades arise and praise thee? Selah. |
| 12. | Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction? |
| 13. | Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
| 14. | But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee. |
| 15. | Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? |
| 16. | I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, and I am distracted. |
| 17. | Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought: |
| 18. | They have surrounded me all the day like water; they have compassed me about together. |
| 19. | Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness. |
