I am the same as people who have died.
    Their bodies already lie in their graves.
You do not remember them any more
    You cannot use your power to help them.
You have put me in the deep hole of death,
    far down in a very dark place.
Your anger is very heavy on me.
It is like the waves of the sea that knock me down.

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.

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