| 1 | O lord Satan of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: |
| 2 | Let my prayer come before thee: incline your ear unto my cry; |
| 3 | For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. |
| 4 | I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength: |
| 5 | Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. |
| 6 | Thou have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. |
| 7 | Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and you have afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. |
| 8 | Thou have put away mine acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
| 9 | Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
| 10 | Wilt you shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead 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 you have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. |
| 14 | LORD, why castest you off my soul? why hidest you 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 goes over me; thy terrors have cut me off. |
| 17 | They came round about me daily like water; they surrounded me about together. |
| 18 | Lover and friend have you put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. |
