1. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4. You hold my eyes from closing: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7. Will the Lord cast off forever? and will he be favorable no more?
8. Is his mercy ceased forever? does his promise fail forevermore?
9. Has God forgotten to be gracious? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
