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.
6Thou hast placed me in a deep pit, In a dark and deep abyss.
7Thy wrath presseth hard upon me, And thou afflictest me with all thy waves! Pause.
8Thou hast put mine acquaintances far from me, Yea, thou hast made me their abhorrence: I am shut up, and cannot go forth.
9Mine eyes languish by reason of my affliction. I call upon thee daily, O LORD! To thee do I stretch out my hands!
10Canst thou show wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise, and praise thee? Pause.
11Shall thy goodness be declared in the grave, Or thy faithfulness in the place of corruption?
12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark, And thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
