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.
7 Your anger smothers me;you subdue me with it, wave after wave. Selah
8 You’ve made my friends distant.You’ve made me disgusting to them.I can’t escape. I’m trapped!
9 My eyes are tired of looking at my suffering.I’ve been calling out to you every day, Lord—I’ve had my hands outstretched to you!
