1 Lord, God of my salvation,by day I cry out,even at night, before you—
2 let my prayer reach you!Turn your ear to my outcry
3 because my whole being is filled with distress;my life is at the very brink of hell.
4 I am considered as one of those plummeting into the pit.I am like those who are beyond help,
5 drifting among the dead,lying in the grave, like dead bodies—those you don’t remember anymore,those who are cut off from your power.
6 You placed me down in the deepest pit,in places dark and deep.
