1A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.` -- An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,
2My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,
3For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol.
4I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
5Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.
6Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
7Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. Selah.
