A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Chief Musician; set to
Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. |
1
|
O YAHUVEH, the YAHUVEH 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 |
8
|
Thou hast put 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 wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon
thee, O YAHUVEH; I have spread forth my hands unto thee. |
10
|
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased 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, O YAHUVEH, have I cried; And in the morning shall my
prayer come before thee. |
14
|
YAHUVEH, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me? |
15
|
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy
terrors I am distracted. |
16
|
Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. |
17
|
They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me
about together. |
18
|
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into
darkness. |
