For my soul is full of troubles , and my life draws near to Sheol.
| LXX |
I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
| LXX |
I am forsaken among the dead , like the slain who lie in the grave , whom You remember no more , who are cut off from Your care.
| LXX |
You have laid me in the lowest Pit , in the darkest of the depths.
| LXX |
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me ; all Your waves have submerged (me). Selah
| LXX |
You have removed my friends from me ; You have made me repulsive I am confined and cannot escape.
| LXX |
My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily ... , O LORD ; I spread out my hands to You.
| LXX |
Do You work wonders ... for the dead ? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You ? Selah
| LXX |
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave , Your faithfulness in Abaddon ?
| LXX |
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness , or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion ?
| LXX |
But to You , O LORD , I cry for help ; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
| LXX |
Why , O LORD , do You reject me ? Why do You hide Your face from me ?
| LXX |
From my youth I (was) afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors ; I am in despair.
| LXX |
Your wrath has swept over me ; Your terrors have destroyed me.
| LXX |
All day long they engulf me like water ; they enclose me on every side.
| LXX |
You have removed my beloved and my friend ; darkness is my closest companion.
