O<\/span> lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.<\/span> <\/p>\n
