10. Will You show wonders to the dead? Shall the departed arise and praise You? Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
11. Shall Your steadfast love be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon (Sheol, as a place of ruin and destruction)?
12. Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness [where the dead forget and are forgotten]?
13. But to You I cry, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer come to meet You.
14. Lord, why do You cast me off? Why do You hide Your face from me? [Matt. 27:46.]
15. I was afflicted and close to death from my youth up; while I suffer Your terrors I am distracted [I faint].
16. Your fierce wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
17. They surround me like a flood all day long; together they have closed in upon me.
