1. Lord, God of my salvation,I cry out before You day and night.
2. May my prayer reach Your presence;listen to my cry.
3. For I have had enough troubles,and my life is near Sheol.
4. I am counted among those going down to the Pit. I am like a man without strength,
5. abandoned among the dead.I am like the slain lying in the grave, whom You no longer remember,and who are cut off from Your care.
