A song from the Korah family. To the director: About a painful sickness. A maskil from Heman the Ezrahite. Lord God, you are my Savior. I have been praying to you day and night. |
2
|
Please pay attention to my prayers. Listen to my prayers for mercy. |
3
|
My soul has had enough of this pain! I am ready to die. |
4
|
People already treat me like a dead man, like someone too weak to live. |
5
|
Look for me among the dead, like a body in the grave. I am one of those you have forgotten, cut off from you and your care. |
6
|
You put me in that hole in the ground. Yes, you put me in that dark place. |
7
|
Your anger presses down on me like a heavy weight. It's like one wave after another pounding against me. Selah |
8
|
You made my friends leave me. They all avoid me like someone no one wants to touch. Like a prisoner in my house, I cannot go out. |
9
|
My eyes hurt from crying. Lord, I pray to you constantly! I lift my arms in prayer to you. |
10
|
Do you do miracles for the dead? Do ghosts rise up and praise you? No! Selah |
11
|
The dead in their graves cannot talk about your faithful love. People in the world of the dead cannot talk about your faithfulness. |
12
|
The dead who lie in darkness cannot see the amazing things you do. Those in the world of the forgotten cannot talk about your goodness. |
13
|
Lord, I am asking you to help me! Early each morning I pray to you. |
14
|
Lord, why have you abandoned me? Why do you refuse to listen to me? |
15
|
I have been sick and weak since I was young. I have suffered your anger, and I am helpless. |
16
|
Your anger covers me like a flood. Your attacks are killing me. |
17
|
They surround me on every side. I feel like a drowning man. |
18
|
You caused my friends and loved ones to leave me. Now darkness is my closest friend. |
