1	A Song +FO or 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 and night before thee: [for the sons: or, of the sons] [Maschil...: or, A Psalm of Heman the Ezrahite, giving instruction]
			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 that hath 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. [from: or, by]
			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# me with all thy waves. Selah.
			8	Thou hast put away# mine acquaintance# far# from me; thou hast made# me an abomination unto them: I am 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# and praise# thee? Selah.
			11	Shall thy lovingkindness be declared# in the grave? or 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? why hidest# thou thy face from me?
			15	I am afflicted and ready to die# from my youth up: while 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. [daily: or, all the day]
			18	Lover# and friend hast thou put far# from me, and mine acquaintance# into darkness.
