Song
[or]
Psalm
for
the
sons
of
Korah,
to
the
chief
Musician
upon
Mahalath
Leannoth,
Maschil
of
Heman
the
Ezrahite.
O
LORD
God
of
my
salvation,
I
have
cried
day
[and]
night
before
thee:
2
Let
my
prayer
come
before
thee:
incline
thine
ear
unto
my
cry;
3
For
my
soul
is
full
of
troubles:
and
my
life
draweth
nigh
unto
the
grave.
4
I
am
counted
with
them
that
go
down
into
the
pit:
I
am
as
a
man
[that
hath]
no
strength:
5
Free
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
darkness,
in
the
deeps.
7
Thy
wrath
lieth
hard
upon
me,
and
thou
hast
afflicted
[me]
with
all
thy
waves.
Selah.
8
Thou
hast
put
away
mine
acquaintance
far
from
me;
thou
hast
made
me
an
abomination
unto
them:
[I
am]
shut
up,
and
I
cannot
come
forth.
9
Mine
eye
mourneth
by
reason
of
affliction:
LORD,
I
have
called
daily
upon
thee,
I
have
stretched
out
my
hands
unto
thee.
10
Wilt
thou
shew
wonders
to
the
dead?
shall
the
dead
arise
[and]
praise
thee?
Selah.
11
Shall
thy
lovingkindness
be
declared
in
the
grave?
[or]
thy
faithfulness
in
destruction?
12
Shall
thy
wonders
be
known
in
the
dark?
and
thy
righteousness
in
the
land
of
forgetfulness?
13
But
unto
thee
have
I
cried,
O
LORD;
and
in
the
morning
shall
my
prayer
prevent
thee.
14
LORD,
why
castest
thou
off
my
soul?
[why]
hidest
thou
thy
face
from
15
I
[am]
afflicted
and
ready
to
die
from
[my]
youth
up:
[while]
I
suffer
thy
terrors
I
am
distracted.
16
Thy
fierce
wrath
goeth
over
me;
thy
terrors
have
cut
me
off.
17
They
came
round
about
me
daily
like
water;
they
compassed
me
about
together.
18
Lover
and
friend
hast
thou
put
far
from
me,
[and]
mine
acquaintance
into
darkness.
