+FO Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day night before thee: |
|
|
|
2
|
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; |
|
|
|
3
|
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. |
|
|
|
4
|
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man no strength: |
|
|
|
5
|
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. |
|
|
|
6
|
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. |
|
|
|
7
|
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted with all thy waves. Selah. |
|
|
|
8
|
Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
|
|
|
9
|
Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
|
|
|
10
|
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise praise thee? Selah. |
|
|
|
11
|
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in destruction? |
|
|
|
12
|
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
|
|
|
13
|
But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. |
|
|
|
14
|
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? hidest thou thy face from me? |
|
|
|
15
|
I afflicted and ready to die from youth up: I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. |
|
|
|
16
|
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. |
|
|
|
17
|
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. |
|
|
|
18
|
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, mine acquaintance into darkness. |
