³ For I have had enough troubles,
and my life is near Sheol.^(A)
4 I am counted among those going down to the Pit.^(B)
I am like a man without strength,^(C)
5 abandoned^[a] among the dead.
I am like the slain lying in the grave,^(D)
whom you no longer remember,
and who are cut off from your care.^[b](E)

⁶ You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit,
in the darkest places, in the depths.^(F)
