1 O LORD my God, 2let my prayer come into your presence, 3For I am sated with sorrow, 4I am counted with those who go down to the pit; 5My home is among the dead, 6In the deepest pit you have put me, 7Your wrath lies heavy upon me, 8You have put my friends far from me, 9my eyes are wasted with sorrow. 10For the dead can you work wonders? 11Can your kindness be told in the grave, 12Can your wonders be known in the darkness, 13I cry for help to you, 14Why, O LORD, do you spurn me, 15From my youth I am wretched and dying, 16The fires of your wrath have passed over me, 17surging around me forever, 18Those who love me you put far from me;
