A Petition to Be Saved from Death.

¹ LORD, the ^(C1)God of my salvation,
I have ^(C2)cried out by day and in the night before You.

² Let my prayer ^(C1)come before You;
^(C2)Incline Your ear to my cry!

³ For my ^(C1)soul has ^(F1)had enough troubles,
And ^(C2)my life has approached ^(F2)Sheol.

⁴ I am counted among those who ^(C1)go down to the pit;
I have become like a man ^(C2)without strength,

^5 (F1)Abandoned ^(C1)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are ^(C2)cut off from Your hand.

⁶ You have put me in ^(C1)the lowest pit,
In ^(C2)dark places, in the ^(C3)depths.

⁷ Your wrath ^(C1)has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with ^(C2)all Your waves. Selah

⁸ You have removed ^(C1)my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an ^(F1)(C2)object of loathing to them;
I am ^(C3)shut up and cannot go out.

⁹ My ^(C1)eye grows dim from misery;
I have ^(C2)called upon You every day, LORD;
I have ^(C3)spread out my ^(F1)hands to You.

¹⁰ Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Or will ^(C1)the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah

¹¹ Will Your graciousness be declared in the grave,
Your faithfulness in ^(F1)Abaddon?

¹² Will Your wonders be made known in the ^(C1)darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³ But I, LORD, have cried out ^(C1)to You for help,
And ^(C2)in the morning my prayer comes before You.

¹⁴ LORD, why ^(C1)do You reject my soul?
Why do You ^(C2)hide Your face from me?

¹⁵ I was miserable and ^(C1)about to die from my youth on;
I suffer ^(C2)Your terrors; I grow weary.

¹⁶ Your ^(C1)burning anger has passed over me;
Your terrors have ^(F1)(C2)destroyed me.

¹⁷ They have ^(C1)surrounded me ^(C2)like water all day long;
They have ^(C3)encircled me altogether.

¹⁸ You have removed ^(C1)lover and friend far from me;
My acquaintances are in a hiding place.
