1 song melody to/for son: descendant/people Korah to/for to conduct upon Mahalath to/for to sing Maskil to/for Heman [the] Ezrahite LORD God salvation my day to cry in/on/with night before you
A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before thee.
2 to come (in): come to/for face: before your prayer my to stretch ear your to/for cry my
Let my prayer come in before thee; incline thine ear to my supplication, O Lord.
3 for to satisfy in/on/with distress: harm soul my and life my to/for hell: Sheol to touch (Sheol )
For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn nigh to Hades. (Sheol )
4 to devise: count with to go down pit to be like/as great man nothing strength
I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
5 in/on/with to die free like slain: killed to lie down: be dead grave which not to remember them still and they(masc.) from hand your to cut
free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom thou rememberest no more; and they are rejected from thy hand.
6 to set: put me in/on/with pit lower in/on/with darkness in/on/with depth
They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
7 upon me to support rage your and all wave your to afflict (Selah)
Thy wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and thou hast brought upon me all thy billows. (Pause)
8 to remove to know my from me to set: make me abomination to/for them to restrain and not to come out: come
Thou hast removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
9 eye my to languish from affliction to call: call to you LORD in/on/with all day to spread to(wards) you palm my
Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to thee, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to thee.
10 to/for to die to make: do wonder if: surely no shade to arise: rise to give thanks you (Selah)
Wilt thou work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise thee?
11 to recount in/on/with grave kindness your faithfulness your in/on/with Abaddon
Shall any one declare thy mercy in the tomb? and thy truth in destruction?
12 to know in/on/with darkness wonder your and righteousness your in/on/with land: country/planet forgetfulness
Shall thy wonders be known in darkness? and thy righteousness in a forgotten land?
13 and I to(wards) you LORD to cry and in/on/with morning prayer my to meet you
But I cried to thee, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
14 to/for what? LORD to reject soul my to hide face your from me
Wherefore, O Lord, dost thou reject my prayer, [and] turn thy face away from me?
15 afflicted I and to die from youth to lift: bear terror your to distract
I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
16 upon me to pass burning anger your terror your to destroy me
Thy wrath has passed over me; and thy terrors have greatly disquieted me.
17 to turn: surround me like/as water all [the] day to surround upon me unitedness
They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
18 to remove from me to love: lover and neighbor to know my darkness
Thou hast put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
