[a]Abandoned (A)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are (B)cut off from Your hand.
You have put me in (C)the lowest pit,
In (D)dark places, in the (E)depths.
Your wrath (F)has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with (G)all Your waves. Selah
You have removed (H)my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an [b](I)object of loathing to them;
I am (J)shut up and cannot go out.
My (K)eye grows dim from misery;
I have (L)called upon You every day, Lord;
I have (M)spread out my [c]hands to You.
