2 O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:
3 Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:
4 For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld.
5 I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:
6 My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.
7 You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.
8 The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah.)
