I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
*Counted* — l am given up by my friends for a lost man.

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
*Free* — Well nigh discharged from the warfare of the present life, and entered as a member into the society of the dead.
*Whom* — Thou seemest to neglect and bury in oblivion.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. /*Selah*/.
*Waves* — With they judgments, breaking in furiously upon me like the waves of the sea.

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? /*Selah*/.
*Wonders* — In raising them to life.
*To praise thee* — In this world?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
*Forgetfulness* — In the grave, where men are forgotten by their nearest relations.

But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
*Prevent* — Come to thee before the dawning of the day, or the rising of the sun.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
*Water* — As the waters of the sea encompass him who is in the midst of it.
