3 I have so many troubles I'm about to die.
4 People think my life is over. I'm like someone who doesn't have any strength.
5 People treat me as if I were dead. I'm like those who have been killed and are now in the grave. You don't even remember them anymore. They are cut off from your care.
6 It seems as if you have put me deep down in the grave, that deep and dark place.
7 Your burning anger lies heavy on me. All the waves of your anger have crashed over me. Selah
8 You have taken my closest friends away from me. You have made me sickening to them. I feel trapped. I can't escape.
9 I'm crying so much I can't see very well. Lord, I call out to you every day. I lift up my hands to you in prayer.
