1. |
A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
|
|
2. |
O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
|
|
3. |
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry;
|
|
4. |
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave.
|
|
5. |
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
|
|
6. |
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.
|
|
7. |
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
|
|
8. |
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
|
|
9. |
Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
|
|
10. |
My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.
|
|
11. |
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
|
|
12. |
Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
|
|
13. |
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
14. |
But to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
|
|
15. |
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
|
|
16. |
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
|
|
17. |
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
|
|
18. |
They came around me daily like water; they encompassed me together.
|
|
19. |
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and my acquaintance into darkness.
