Selah.3 sermons⁸Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.3 sermons⁹Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.3 sermons¹⁰Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.3 sermons¹¹Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?3 sermons¹²Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?3 sermons¹³But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.3 sermons¹⁴Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?3 sermons¹⁵I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.5 sermons¹⁶Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.3 sermons¹⁷They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.3 sermons¹⁸Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.3 sermons
