My prayer comes in before You, Incline Your ear to my loud cry,
3 for to satisfy in/on/with distress: harm soul my and life my to/for hell: Sheol to touch (Sheol h7585)
For my soul has been full of evils, And my life has come to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 to devise: count with to go down pit to be like/as great man nothing strength
I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
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
Among the dead—free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom You have not remembered anymore, Indeed, they have been cut off by Your hand.
6 to set: put me in/on/with pit lower in/on/with darkness in/on/with depth
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
7 upon me to support rage your and all wave your to afflict (Selah)
Your fury has lain on me, And You have afflicted [with] all Your breakers. (Selah)

You have put my acquaintance far from me, You have made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I do not go 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
My eye has grieved because of affliction, I called You, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out my hands to You.
10 to/for to die to make: do wonder if: surely no shade to arise: rise to give thanks you (Selah)
Do You do wonders to the dead? Does Rephaim rise? Do they thank You? (Selah)
11 to recount in/on/with grave kindness your faithfulness your in/on/with Abaddon
Is Your kindness recounted in the grave? Your faithfulness in destruction?

Are Your wonders known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 and I to(wards) you LORD to cry and in/on/with morning prayer my to meet you
And I, to You, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 to/for what? LORD to reject soul my to hide face your from me
Why, O YHWH, do You cast off my soul? You hide Your face from me.
15 afflicted I and to die from youth to lift: bear terror your to distract
I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Your terrors—I pine away.
16 upon me to pass burning anger your terror your to destroy me
Your wrath has passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off,
17 to turn: surround me like/as water all [the] day to surround upon me unitedness
They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone around against me together,
18 to remove from me to love: lover and neighbor to know my darkness
You have put lover and friend far from me, My acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
