5 I am no better offthan those in the grave,those you have forgottenand no longer help.
6 You have put me in the deepestand darkest grave;
7 your anger rolls over melike ocean waves.
8 You have made my friends turnin horror from me.I am a prisonerwho cannot escape,
9 and I am almost blindbecause of my sorrow.Each day I lift my handsin prayer to you, Lord.
10 Do you work miraclesfor the dead?Do they stand upand praise you?
11 Are your love and loyaltyannounced in the worldof the dead?
