6. You have laid me in the depths of the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7. Your wrath lies hard upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! [Ps. 42:7.]
8. You have put my [familiar] friends far from me; You have made me an abomination to them. I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9. My eye grows dim because of sorrow and affliction. Lord, I have called daily on You; I have spread forth my hands to You.
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)?
