O Lord, God of salvation, I cry to you day and night.
O let my prayer come before you, Incline your ear to my cry.
My soul's at its fill of trouble, My life has reachy hope.
Like those who sink in a pit, Like men without any strength.
O Lord, God of salvation, I cry out to you day and night.
Detached among the dead, Like slain ones laid in the grave.
Like those remembered no more, Like those cut off from your hand.
You placed me in the lowest pit, In darkness down in the depths.
Your anger rested upon me, Assailing me with all your waves.
O Lord, God of salvation, I cry out to you day and night.
Those known to me you made far off, Made like a loathsome thing.
Restrained I cannot go out, My eye wears out from affliction.
I call out to you every day, O Lord, I stretched out my hands to you.
For the dead will you work your wonders, Will they rise to praise you, say,
O Lord, God of salvation, I cry out to you day and night.
Will your love be told in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
Will your wonders be known in the darkness, Your right in the land of
forgetfulness?
O Lord, to you I cry out for help, In the morning my prayer comes to you.
O Lord, why do you spurn my soul?
Why hide your face from me?
O Lord, God of salvation, I cry out to you day and night.
Impoverished and dying from childhood, Bearing dread, I am overwhelmed.
Your anger has passed over me, Your terror is demolishing me.
Surrounded like water all through the day, Completely encompassing me, Removing both
loved one and friend, Until all I know is darkness.
O Lord, God of salvation, I cry out to you day and night.
Thank you.
