    drifting among the dead,
    lying in the grave, like dead bodies—
    those you don’t remember anymore,
    those who are cut off from your power.
You placed me down in the deepest pit,
    in places dark and deep.
Your anger smothers me;
    you subdue me with it, wave after wave. Selah

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.

    in the darkest depths.(B)
Your wrath(C) lies heavily on me;
    you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.[a](D)
