“In my distress I called^(A) to the Lord,^(B)
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead^(C) I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.

⁴ The cords of death^(A) entangled me;
    the torrents^(B) of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁵ The cords of the grave coiled around me;
    the snares of death^(C) confronted me.

⁶ In my distress^(D) I called to the Lord;^(E)
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;^(F)
    my cry came^(G) before him, into his ears.

⁶ This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.^(A)

¹³ For great is your love toward me;
    you have delivered me^(A) from the depths,
    from the realm of the dead.^(B)

³ I am overwhelmed with troubles^(C)
    and my life draws near to death.^(D)
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;^(E)
    I am like one without strength.^(F)
5 I am set apart with the dead,
    like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
    who are cut off^(G) from your care.

⁶ You have put me in the lowest pit,
    in the darkest depths.^(H)
7 Your wrath^(I) lies heavily on me;
    you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.^[d](J)
