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?
