10  Who among you fears the Lord

and obeys ^athe voice of his servant?

^bLet him who walks in darkness

and has no light

trust in the name of the Lord

and rely on his God.

1  O Lord, ^cGod of my salvation,

I ^dcry out day and night before you.

2  Let my prayer come before you;

^eincline your ear to my cry!

3  For my soul is full of troubles,

and ^fmy life draws near to ^gSheol.

6  You have put me in ^kthe depths of the pit,

in the ^lregions dark and ^mdeep.

7  Your wrath ⁿlies heavy upon me,

and you overwhelm me with ^oall your waves. Selah

9  ^smy eye grows dim through sorrow.

Every day I call upon you, O Lord;

I ^tspread out my hands to you.

10  Do you work wonders for the dead?

^uDo the departed rise up to praise you? Selah

13  But I, O Lord, cry ^yto you;

^zin the morning my prayer comes before you.

14  O Lord, why ^ado you cast my soul away?

Why ^bdo you hide your face from me?

15  Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,

I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.¹
