5I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them anymore.
6It is as though you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
7It seems like you are very angry with me, and it is as though you have crushed me like ocean waves crash down on people MET.
8You have caused my friends to ◄avoid/stay away from► me; I have become repulsive to them. It is as though I am in a prison and cannot escape.
9My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you to help me; I lift up my hands to you while I pray.
10You certainly do not RHQ perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not RHQ arise to praise you!
11Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us RHQ, and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully do for us RHQ.
12No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform RHQ, and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
13But as for me, Yahweh, I cry out to you to help me; each morning I pray to you.
14Yahweh, why do you reject me RHQ? Why do you turn away from me RHQ?
15All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am ◄in despair/very discouraged► because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
16I feel that you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
17I feel as though they surround me like a flood SIM; they are ◄closing in on/crushing► me from all sides.
18You have caused even my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and it is as though the only friend that I have is darkness.
