[A song, a psalm written by the Korahites; for the music director; according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrachite.] O LORD God who delivers me! By day I cry out and at night I pray before you. |
2
|
Listen to my prayer! Pay attention to my cry for help! |
3
|
For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol. |
4
|
They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man, |
5
|
adrift among the dead, like corpses lying in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from your power. |
6
|
You place me in the lowest regions of the pit, in the dark places, in the watery depths. |
7
|
Your anger bears down on me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. (Selah) |
8
|
You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free. |
9
|
My eyes grow weak because of oppression. I call out to you, O LORD, all day long; I spread out my hands in prayer to you. |
10
|
Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and give you thanks? (Selah) |
11
|
Is your loyal love proclaimed in the grave, or your faithfulness in the place of the dead? |
12
|
Are your amazing deeds experienced in the dark region, or your deliverance in the land of oblivion? |
13
|
As for me, I cry out to you, O LORD; in the morning my prayer confronts you. |
14
|
O LORD, why do you reject me, and pay no attention to me? |
15
|
I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain. |
16
|
Your anger overwhelms me; your terrors destroy me. |
17
|
They surround me like water all day long; they join forces and encircle me. |
18
|
You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. |
