3 My soul has had enough of this pain! I am ready to die.
4 People already treat me like a dead man, like someone too weak to live.
5 Look for me among the dead, like a body in the grave. I am one of those you have forgotten, cut off from you and your care.
6 You put me in that hole in the ground. Yes, you put me in that dark place.
7 Your anger presses down on me like a heavy weight. It’s like one wave after another pounding against me. Selah
8 You made my friends leave me. They all avoid me like someone no one wants to touch. Like a prisoner in my house, I cannot go out.
9 My eyes hurt from crying. Lord, I pray to you constantly! I lift my arms in prayer to you.
