2 My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my  loud cry,
         
                                
                        3 For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come  to Sheol.
         
                                
                        4 I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I  have been as a man without strength.
         
                                
                        5 Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave,  Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand  have been cut off.
         
                                
                        6 Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in  depths.
         
                                
                        7 Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers  Thou hast afflicted. Selah.
         
                                
                        8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made  me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.
