1. I cry aloud to God,aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2. In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;my soul refuses to be comforted.
3. When I remember God, I moan;when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4. You hold my eyelids open;I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5. I consider the days of old,the years long ago.
6. I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;let me meditate in my heart.”Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7. “Will the Lord spurn forever,and never again be favorable?
8. Has his steadfast love forever ceased?Are his promises at an end for all time?
