2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; Many Bible Versions
3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. Many Bible Versions
4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Many Bible Versions
5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Many Bible Versions
6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Many Bible Versions
7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Many Bible Versions
8Thou 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. Many Bible Versions

10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. Many Bible Versions
11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? Many Bible Versions
12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? Many Bible Versions

14Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? Many Bible Versions
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. Many Bible Versions
16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. Many Bible Versions

18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. Many Bible Versions
