2O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee.
3Let my prayer come in before thee; Incline thine ear to my supplication, O Lord.
4For my soul is filled with troubles, And my life has drawn nigh to Hades.
5I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
6free among the dead, As the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; Whom thou rememberest no more; And they are rejected from thy hand.
7They laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, and in the shadow of death.
