Look for me among the dead,
    like a body in the grave.
I am one of those you have forgotten,
    cut off from you and your care.
You put me in that hole in the ground.
    Yes, you put me in that dark place.
Your anger presses down on me like a heavy weight.
    It’s like one wave after another pounding against me. 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.

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)
