You have ·been very angry with [L put your wrath on] me;
    ·all your waves crush me [L you have afflicted me with all your breakers]. ·Selah [Interlude]

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)
