1. My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted.
3. When I remember God, then I am disturbed; When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah.
4. You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5. I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.
6. I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders:
7. Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?
8. Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?
