⁶ He has made me dwell in darkness
    like those long dead.^(A)

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^(A) from your care.

⁶ You have put me in the lowest pit,
    in the darkest depths.^(B)

⁷ Answer me quickly,^(A) Lord;
    my spirit fails.^(B)
Do not hide your face^(C) from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
