1. Lord, you are the God who saves me. Day and night I cry out to you.
2. Please hear my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.
3. I have so many troubles I'm about to die.
4. People think my life is over. I'm like someone who doesn't have any strength.
5. People treat me as if I were dead. I'm like those who have been killed and are now in the grave. You don't even remember them anymore. They are cut off from your care.
6. It seems as if you have put me deep down in the grave, that deep and dark place.
7. Your burning anger lies heavy on me. All the waves of your anger have crashed over me. Selah
8. You have taken my closest friends away from me. You have made me sickening to them. I feel trapped. I can't escape.
9. I'm crying so much I can't see very well. Lord, I call out to you every day. I lift up my hands to you in prayer.
10. Do you work miracles for those who are dead? Do dead people rise up and praise you? Selah
