1 O Lord God, my savior,
2 Let my prayer come into your presence.
3 My soul is filled with troubles,
4 I am numbered with those who go into the pit.
5 abandoned with the dead,
6 You have put me in the bottom of the pit—in deep, dark places.
7 Your rage lies heavily on me.
8 You have taken my friends far away from me.
9 My eyes grow weak because of my suffering.
10 Will you perform miracles for those who are dead?
11 Will anyone tell about your mercy in Sheol
12 Will anyone know about your miracles in that dark place
13 I cry out to you for help, O Lord,
14 Why do you reject my soul, O Lord?
15 Ever since I was young, I have been suffering and near death.
16 Your burning anger has swept over me.
17 They swirl around me all day long like water.
18 You have taken my loved ones and friends far away from me.
