No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.

Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?

[I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
