O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.[ Selah
