  ¹Lord, you are the God who saves me;
   day and night I cry out to you.
  ²May my prayer come before you;
   turn your ear to my cry.

  ³I am overwhelmed with troubles
   and my life draws near to death.
  ⁴I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
   I am like one without strength.
  ⁵I am set apart with the dead,
   like the slain who lie in the grave,
  whom you remember no more,
   who are cut off from your care.

  ⁶You have put me in the lowest pit,
   in the darkest depths.
  ⁷Your wrath lies heavily on me;
   you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.⚓
  ⁸You have taken from me my closest friends
   and have made me repulsive to them.
  I am confined and cannot escape;
   ⁹my eyes are dim with grief.

  I call to you, Lord, every day;
   I spread out my hands to you.
  ¹⁰Do you show your wonders to the dead?
   Do their spirits rise up and praise you?
  ¹¹Is your love declared in the grave,
   your faithfulness in Destruction⚓ ?
  ¹²Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
   or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?

  ¹³But I cry to you for help, Lord;
   in the morning my prayer comes before you.
  ¹⁴Why, Lord, do you reject me
   and hide your face from me?

  ¹⁵From my youth I have suffered and been close to death;
   I have borne your terrors and am in despair.
  ¹⁶Your wrath has swept over me;
   your terrors have destroyed me.
  ¹⁷All day long they surround me like a flood;
   they have completely engulfed me.
  ¹⁸You have taken from me friend and neighbor—
   darkness is my closest friend.
