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
11. Do those who are dead speak about your love? Do those who are in the grave tell how faithful you are?
12. Are your miracles known in that dark place? Are your holy acts known in that land where the dead are forgotten?
13. Lord, I cry out to you for help. In the morning I pray to you.
14. Lord, why do you say no to me? Why do you turn your face away from me?
