Selah.5542 cr 11 Shall thy lovingkindness2617 be declared5608 in the grave?6913 or thy faithfulness530 in destruction?11 cr 12 Shall thy wonders6382 be known3045 in the dark?2822 and thy righteousness6666 in the land776 of forgetfulness?5388 cr 13 But unto thee have I cried,7768 O LORD;3068 and in the morning1242 shall my prayer8605 prevent6923 thee. cr 14 LORD,3068 why castest thou off2186 my soul?5315 why hidest5641 thou thy face6440 from me? cr 15 I am afflicted6041 and ready to die1478 from my youth5290 up: while I suffer5375 thy terrors367 I am distracted.6323 cr 16 Thy fierce wrath2740 goeth over5674 me; thy terrors1161 have cut me off.6789 cr 17 They came round about5437 me daily3117{Or, all the day} like water;4325 they compassed5362 me about together.3162 cr 18 Lover157 and friend7453 hast thou put far7368 from me, and mine acquaintance3045 into darkness.4285 cr
