## Incline Your Ear to My Cry
|
|
|
|
###### 1
|
|
O Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and throughout the night before You.
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry of lamentation!
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
For my soul has been saturated with calamities, And my life has reached Sheol.
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength,
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
Released among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand.
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
You have put me in the pit far below, In dark places, in the depths.
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
Your wrath lies upon me, And You afflict me with all Your breaking waves. Selah.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have set me as an abomination to them; I am shut up and cannot go out.
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon You every day, O Yahweh; I have spread out my hands to You.
|
|
|
|
###### 10
|
|
Will You do wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise _and_ praise You? Selah.
|
|
|
|
###### 11
|
|
Will Your lovingkindness be recounted in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
|
|
|
|
###### 12
|
|
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
|
|
|
|
###### 13
|
|
But as for me, O Yahweh, I have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
|
|
|
|
###### 14
|
|
O Yahweh, why do You reject my soul? _Why_ do You hide Your face from me?
|
|
|
|
###### 15
|
|
I _have been_ afflicted and about to breathe my last from _my_ youth on; I bear Your terrors; I am overcome.
|
|
|
|
###### 16
|
|
Your burning anger has passed over me; Your horrors have destroyed me.
|
|
|
|
###### 17
|
|
They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.
|
|
|
|
###### 18
|
|
You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are _in_ darkness.
|
