Parallelism is common in Hebrew poetry. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# I cry out

"I call out loudly"

# my rock

This is a metaphor for strength. Alternate translation: "my strength" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# do not ignore me

"do not be silent to me" or "do not leave me alone"

# I will join those who go down to the grave

People who die are spoken of as if they are going down into the grave. Alternate translation: "I will die like those who are in the grave" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
