1 O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.
         
                                
                        2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.
         
                                
                        3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.
         
                                
                        4 I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,
         
                                
                        5 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.
         
                                
                        6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.
         
                                
                        7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.     Selah
