⁶ He has buried me in a dark place,
    like those long dead.

⁵ They have left me among the dead,
    and I lie like a corpse in a grave.
I am forgotten,
    cut off from your care.
⁶ You have thrown me into the lowest pit,
    into the darkest depths.

³ My enemy has chased me.
    He has knocked me to the ground
    and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.

⁷ Come quickly, Lord, and answer me,
    for my depression deepens.
Don’t turn away from me,
    or I will die.
