| 1. | {A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.} Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you. | A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. To the chief music-maker; put to 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 enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry. | O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night: | Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; | ||
| 3. | For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.}. | Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry: | For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. | ||
| 4. | I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help, | For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld. | I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: | ||
| 5. | set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand. | I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help: | 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. | You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. | My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care. | Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. | ||
| 7. | Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah. | You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places. | Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. | ||
| 8. | You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape. | The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome 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. | ||
| 9. | My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you. | You have sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out. | Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. | ||
| 10. | Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah. | My eyes are wasting away because of my trouble: Lord, my cry has gone up to you every day, my hands are stretched out to you. | Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. | ||
| 11. | Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction? | Will you do works of wonder for the dead? will the shades come back to give you praise? (Selah.) | Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? | ||
| 12. | Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? | Will the story of your mercy be given in the house of the dead? will news of your faith come to the place of destruction? | Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? | ||
| 13. | But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you. | May there be knowledge of your wonders in the dark? or of your righteousness where memory is dead? | But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. | ||
| 14. | Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me? | But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you. | 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 your terrors, I am distracted. | Lord, why have you sent away my soul? why is your face covered from me? | I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. | ||
| 16. | Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off. | I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength. | Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. | ||
| 17. | They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me. | The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments. | They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. | ||
| 18. | You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness. | They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me. | Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. | ||
