1. Lord, you are the God who saves me. I cry out to you day and night.
|
1. A Song H7892 or Psalm H4210 for the sons H1121 of Korah H7141 , to the chief Musician H5329 upon H5921 Mahalath H4257 Leannoth H6031 , Maschil H4905 of Heman H1968 the Ezrahite H250 . O LORD H3068 God H430 of my salvation H3444 , I have cried H6817 day H3117 and night H3915 before H5048 thee:
|
|
2. Receive my prayer, and listen to my cry.
|
2. Let my prayer H8605 come H935 before H6440 thee: incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto my cry H7440 ;
|
|
3. My life is full of troubles, and I am nearly dead.
|
3. For H3588 my soul H5315 is full H7646 of troubles H7451 : and my life H2416 draweth nigh H5060 unto the grave H7585 .
|
|
4. They think I am on the way to my grave. I am like a man with no strength.
|
4. I am counted H2803 with H5973 them that go down H3381 into the pit H953 : I am H1961 as a man H1397 that hath no H369 strength H353 :
|
|
5. I have been left as dead, like a body lying in a grave whom you don't remember anymore, cut off from your care.
|
5. Free H2670 among the dead H4191 , like H3644 the slain H2491 that lie H7901 in the grave H6913 , whom H834 thou rememberest H2142 no H3808 more H5750 : and they H1992 are cut off H1504 from thy hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
6. You have brought me close to death; I am almost in the dark place of the dead.
|
6. Thou hast laid H7896 me in the lowest H8482 pit H953 , in darkness H4285 , in the deeps H4688 .
|
|
7. You have been very angry with me; all your waves crush me.Selah
|
7. Thy wrath H2534 lieth hard H5564 upon H5921 me , and thou hast afflicted H6031 me with all H3605 thy waves H4867 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
8. You have taken my friends away from me and have made them hate me. I am trapped and cannot escape.
|
8. Thou hast put away H7368 mine acquaintance H3045 far from H4480 me ; thou hast made H7896 me an abomination H8441 unto them: I am shut up H3607 , and I cannot H3808 come forth H3318 .
|
|
9. My eyes are weak from crying. Lord, I have prayed to you every day; I have lifted my hands in prayer to you.
|
9. Mine eye H5869 mourneth H1669 by reason of H4480 affliction H6040 : LORD H3068 , I have called H7121 daily H3605 H3117 upon thee , I have stretched out H7849 my hands H3709 unto thee H413 .
|
|
10. Do you show your miracles for the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you?Selah
|
10. Wilt thou show H6213 wonders H6382 to the dead H4191 ? shall the dead H7496 arise H6965 and praise H3034 thee? Selah H5542 .
|
|
11. Will your love be told in the grave? Will your loyalty be told in the place of death?
|
11. Shall thy lovingkindness H2617 be declared H5608 in the grave H6913 ? or thy faithfulness H530 in destruction H11 ?
|
|
12. Will your miracles be known in the dark grave? Will your goodness be known in the land of forgetfulness?
|
12. Shall thy wonders H6382 be known H3045 in the dark H2822 ? and thy righteousness H6666 in the land H776 of forgetfulness H5388 ?
|
|
13. But, Lord, I have called out to you for help; every morning I pray to you.
|
13. But unto H413 thee have I H589 cried H7768 , O LORD H3068 ; and in the morning H1242 shall my prayer H8605 prevent H6923 thee.
|
|
14. Lord, why do you reject me? Why do you hide from me?
|
14. LORD H3068 , why H4100 castest thou off H2186 my soul H5315 ? why hidest H5641 thou thy face H6440 from H4480 me?
|
|
15. I have been weak and dying since I was young. I suffer from your terrors, and I am helpless.
|
15. I H589 am afflicted H6041 and ready to die H1478 from my youth up H4480 H5290 : while I suffer H5375 thy terrors H367 I am distracted H6323 .
|
|
16. You have been angry with me, and your terrors have destroyed me.
|
16. Thy fierce wrath H2740 goeth H5674 over H5921 me ; thy terrors H1161 have cut me off H6789 .
|
|
17. They surround me daily like a flood; they are all around me.
|
17. They came round about H5437 me daily H3605 H3117 like water H4325 ; they compassed me about H5362 H5921 together H3162 .
|
|
18. You have taken away my loved ones and friends. Darkness is my only friend. A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
|
18. Lover H157 and friend H7453 hast thou put far H7368 from H4480 me, and mine acquaintance H3045 into darkness H4285 .
