I Cry Out Day and Night Before You
A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
2
Let my prayer come before you; 3incline your ear to my cry!
4
I am counted among those who 6go down to the pit; I am a man who has no strength,
5
like one set loose among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, like those whom 7you remember no more, for they are 8cut off from your hand.
8
You have caused 14my companions to shun me; you have made me 15a horrora to them. I am 16shut in so that I cannot escape;
9
17my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call upon you, O LORD; I 18spread out my hands to you.
10
Do you work wonders for the dead? 19Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
11
Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12
Are your 20wonders known in 21the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of 22forgetfulness?
15
Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.b
16
Your wrath has swept over me; your 27dreadful assaults destroy me.
