3
For my (A)soul has (a)had enough troubles,
And (B)my life has drawn near to (b)Sheol.
4
I am reckoned among those who (C)go down to the pit;
I have become like a man (D)without strength,
5
(c)Forsaken (E)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And they are (F)cut off from Your hand.
