O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day[ and] night before thee:Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man[ that hath] no strength:Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted[ me] with all thy waves.
