You have removed (A)my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an [a](B)object of loathing to them;
I am (C)shut up and cannot go out.
My (D)eye grows dim from misery;
I have (E)called upon You every day, Lord;
I have (F)spread out my [b]hands to You.

10 Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Or will (G)the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah
11 Will Your graciousness be declared in the grave,
Your faithfulness in [c]Abaddon?
12 Will Your wonders be made known in the (H)darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
