1. My cry goes to God!Indeed, I cry to God for help,and for him to listen to me.
2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord.My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired.My soul refused to be comforted.
3. I remember God, and I groan.I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
4. You hold my eyelids open.I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
5. I have considered the days of old,the years of ancient times.
6. I remember my song in the night.I consider in my own heart;my spirit diligently enquires:
7. “Will the Lord reject us forever?Will he be favourable no more?
8. Has his loving kindness vanished forever?Does his promise fail for generations?
9. Has God forgotten to be gracious?Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10. Then I thought, “I will appeal to this:the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11. I will remember the Lord’s deeds;for I will remember your wonders of old.
