Lord, my God, I call by day I cry aloud at night Let my prayer before you come Incline your ear to my cry For my soul is filled with troubles My life draws near to the grave I am reckoned as one in the tomb I've reached the end of my strength Like the slain lying in their graves Like one among the dead Like those you remember no more You've laid me in the depths Imprisioned, I cannot escape My eyes grow dim with grief Your wrath lies heavy upon me, Lord Your waves crash over me Is your love proclaimed in the grave? Your fidelity in the tomb? Lord, I call to you for help I stretch out my hands to you Why do you reject me, Lord? Why hide from me your face? Friend and neighbor you've taken away My only friend is darkness My only friend is darkness
