2Let my supplication come before thee; Incline thine ear to my cry!
3For my soul is full of misery, And my life draweth near to the underworld.
4I am counted with those who are going down to the pit; I am like one who hath no strength.
5I am left to myself among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom thou no more rememberest, And who are cut off from thy protecting hand.
