I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the slain lying in their graves, those you have forgotten completely, who are beyond your help.

You have thrown me into the depths of the tomb, into the darkest and deepest pit.

My enemies have hunted me down and completely defeated me. They have put me in a dark prison, and I am like those who died long ago.

Answer me now, LORD! I have lost all hope. Don't hide yourself from me, or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
