1O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
“O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before you.”
2May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
“Let my prayer come before thee, incline thine ear unto my cry,”
“Let my prayer come before you and incline your ear to my cry.”

“I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit. I have become like a man without strength,”

5I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
“adrift among the dead. Like the slain who lie in the grave whom you remember no more and who are cut off from your hand.”
“adrift among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave whom you remember no more and are cut off from your hand.”
“among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more and they are cut off from your hand.”

6You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
“you have laid me in the lowest pit in darkness in the depths.”
“You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness and in the”
“You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness and the depths,”
7Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah
“Your wrath lies heavy upon me and you have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah”
“Your wrath lies heavy upon me. And you have afflicted me with all your waves.”
8You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
“you have put away my acquaintances far from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am shut up and I cannot get out.”
9My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
“My eye wastes away because of affliction. Lord I have called daily upon you. I have stretched out my hands to you.”
10Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah
“will you work wonders for the dead. Shall the dead arise and praise you.”
“Will thou show wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise thee?”
“Will thou show wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise thee?”
11Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon ?
“Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in destruction?”
“Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave or your faithfulness in the place of destruction.”
12Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
“Shall your wonders be known in the dark and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?”
13But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
“But unto thee have I cried, O Lord, and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.”
“but unto thee have I cried, O Lord, and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.”
“But to you I have cried out oh lord. And in the morning my prayer comes before you”
“But I, O Lord, have cried out to you for help, and in the morning my prayer comes to you.”
14Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
“Lord, why do you cast off my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?”
“Lord, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?”
“lord. Why do you cast off my soul. Why do you hide your face from me.”
15From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
“I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth. I suffer your terrors. I am distraught.”
“I am afflicted and ready to die, says the psalmist from my youth up, while I suffer thy terrors. I am distracted”
“I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on. I suffer thy terrors, I am overcome.”
“I am afflicted and ready to die, from my youth up. I suffer thy terrors, I am distracted.”
16Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
“Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.”
17All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
“They have surrounded me like water all day long. They have encompassed me altogether.”
“They came around me all day long like water. They engulf me all together.”
18You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
“Loved one and friend. You have put far from me and my acquaintances into darkness.”
