Chapter summary

The psalmist cries out day and night to the Lord, the God of his salvation, pleading for his prayer to be heard as his soul is filled with troubles and his life draws near to Sheol. He describes himself as counted among those descending to the Pit, forsaken among the dead, and weighed down by the wrath and waves of God. Furthermore, he states that God has removed his acquaintances and made him repulsive to them, leaving him confined and with dim eyes from grief. Throughout the prayer, he questions whether wonders, loving devotion, faithfulness, and righteousness can be known or proclaimed among the dead in the grave and Abaddon. Despite being afflicted, near death, and overwhelmed by God's terrors and wrath since his youth, he continues to cry out for help every morning, concluding with the acknowledgment that God has removed his loved ones and friends, leaving darkness as his closest companion.
