I come to you at night.H7892H4210H1121H7141H5329H4257H6031H4905H1968H250H3068H430H3444H6817H3117H39152Now hear my prayer; listen to my cry.H8605H935H6440H5186H241H74403For my life is full of troubles, and deathc draws near.H5315H7646H7451H2416H5060H75854I am as good as dead, like a strong man with no strength left.H2803H3381H953H1397H3535They have left me among the dead, and I lie like a corpse in a grave. I am forgotten, cut off from your care.H2670H4191H2491H7901H6913H2142H1504H30276You have thrown me into the lowest pit, into the darkest depths.H7896H8482H953H4285H46887Your anger weighs me down; with wave after wave you have engulfed me. InterludeH2534H5564H6031H4867H55428You have driven my friends away by making me repulsive to them. I am in a trap with no way of escape.H7368H3045H7368H7896H8441H3607H33189My eyes are blinded by my tears. Each day I beg for your help, O Lord; I lift my hands to you for mercy.H5869H1669H6040H3068H7121H3117H7849H370910Are your wonderful deeds of any use to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? InterludeH6213H6382H4191H7496H6965H3034H554211Can those in the grave declare your unfailing love? Can they proclaim your faithfulness in the place of destruction?cH2617H5608H6913H530H1112Can the darkness speak of your wonderful deeds? Can anyone in the land of forgetfulness talk about your righteousness?H6382H3045H2822H6666H776H538813O Lord, I cry out to you. I will keep on pleading day by day.H7768H3068H1242H8605H692314O Lord, why do you reject me? Why do you turn your face from me?H3068H2186H5315H5641H644015I have been sick and close to death since my youth. I stand helpless and desperate before your terrors.H6041H1478H5290H5375H367H632316Your fierce anger has overwhelmed me. Your terrors have paralyzed me.H2740H5674H1161H678917They swirl around me like floodwaters all day long. They have engulfed me completely.H5437H3117H4325H5362H316218You have taken away my companions and loved ones. Darkness is my closest friend.H157H7453H7368H3045H4285
