You have caused (A)my companions to shun me;
    you have made me (B)a horror[a] to them.
I am (C)shut in so that I cannot escape;
    (D)my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
    I (E)spread out my hands to you.
10 Do you work wonders for the dead?
    (F)Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
    or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 Are your (G)wonders known in (H)the darkness,
    or your righteousness in the land of (I)forgetfulness?
