“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.”
The isolation is total: "I am set apart with the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, like those whom you remember no more, for they are cut off from your hand." The comparison to the slain and forgotten dead suggests that the supplicant has been abandoned. The phrase "cut off from your hand" indicates separation from divine protection.
