1. O Lord God who delivers me!By day I cry outand at night I pray before you.
2. Listen to my prayer!Pay attention to my cry for help!
3. For my life is filled with troublesand I am ready to enter Sheol.
4. They treat me like those who descend into the grave.I am like a helpless man,
5. adrift among the dead,like corpses lying in the grave,whom you remember no more,and who are cut off from your power.
