1. Hashem Elohei Yeshuati (G-d of my salvation), I have cried out yom valailah before Thee.
2. (3) Let my tefillah come before Thee; incline Thine ear unto my cry;
3. (4) For my nefesh is full of troubles; and my life draweth near unto Sheol.
4. (5) I am counted with them that go down into the bor (pit); I am like a gever (man) that hath no strength;
5. (6) Forsaken among the mesim, like the slain that lie in the kever, whom Thou rememberest no more; and nigzaru (they are cut off, excluded; see Isa 53:8) from Thy Yad (hand, power, care).
6. (7) Thou hast laid me in the lowest bor (pit), in darkness, in the deeps.
7. (8) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and Thou hast overwhelmed me with kol mishbarecha (all Thy waves, breakers). Selah.
8. (9) Thou hast estranged mine acquaintances far from me; Thou hast made me to'evot unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot escape.
9. (10) Mine eye groweth dim by reason of oni (affliction); Hashem, I have called daily upon Thee, I have stretched up my hands unto Thee.
