10. My eye fails from affliction. I call upon You every day, Adonai. I spread out my hands to You.
11. Will You work wonders for the dead? Or will the departed spirits rise up praising You? Selah
12. Will Your love be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of ruin?
13. Will Your wonders be known in the darkness? Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
14. But I—I cried out to You, Adonai, and in the morning my prayer meets You.
15. Adonai, why do You spurn me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
16. From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death. I suffer Your terrors—I am desperate!
17. Your fury has swept over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
18. Like water they surge around me all day. They close in on me together.
19. Friend and loved one You took far from me. Darkness has become my companion.
