A song a psalm of [the] sons of Korah to the choirmaster on Machalath to sing a poem of Heman the Ezrachite. O Yahweh [the] God of salvation my day I have cried out in the night before you.
2 Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
May it come before you prayer my incline ear your to cry of entreaty my.
For it is surfeited with troubles being my and life my to Sheol they have reached. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
I am reckoned with [those who] go down of [the] pit I am like a man [whom] there not [is] strength.
5 Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
Among the dead a [person] set free like [those] slain - [who] lie of [the] grave whom not you remember them again and they from hand your they are cut off.
6 Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
You have put me in a pit of lowest parts in [the] dark places in [the] depths.
7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. (Selah)
On me it has lain anger your and all breakers your you have afflicted [me] (Selah)
8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
You have removed far away acquaintances my from me you have made me abominations to them [I am] shut up and not I will go out.
9 Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
Eye my it is faint from affliction I have called out to you O Yahweh on every day I have spread out to you hands my.
10 Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? (Selah)
¿ For the dead will you do wonder[s] or? [the] shades will they arise - will they give thanks to? you (Selah)
11 Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
¿ Will it be recounted in the grave covenant loyalty your faithfulness your in Abaddon.
12 Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
¿ Will it be known in the darkness wonder[s] your and righteousness your in [the] land of forgetting.
13 But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
And I - to you O Yahweh I cry for help and in the morning prayer my it comes to meet you.
14 LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
Why? O Yahweh do you reject self my do you hide? face your from me.
15 I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
[have been] afflicted I and [have been] about to die from youth I have borne terrors your I am perplexed.
16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
Over me they have passed anger your terrors your they have destroyed me.
17 They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
They have surrounded me like water all the day they have surrounded me altogether.
18 Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
You have removed far away from me [one who] loves and a friend acquaintances my darkness.
