1. Loudly, I cried to God.Loudly, I cried to Godso that he would open his ears to ⌊hear⌋ me.
2. On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help.At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired.Yet, my soul refused to be comforted.
3. I sigh as I remember God.I begin to lose hope as I think about him. Selah
4. (You keep my eyelids open.)I am so upset that I cannot speak.
5. I have considered the days of old,the years long ago.
6. I remember my song in the nightand reflect ⌊on it⌋.My spirit searches ⌊for an answer⌋:
7. Will the Lord reject ⌊me⌋ for all time?Will he ever accept me?
8. Has his mercy come to an end forever?Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation?
9. Has God forgotten to be merciful?Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? Selah
10. Then I said, “It makes me feel sickthat the power of the Most High is no longer the same.”
11. I will remember the deeds of the Lord.I will remember your ancient miracles.
12. I will reflect on all your actionsand think about what you have done.
