1. I cry out with my voice to God; with my voice to God, that he may hear me.
2. In the day I have trouble, I seek the Lord. At night my hand stretches out continually; my soul refuses to be comforted.
3. I remember God and I groan loudly; I meditate and my spirit grows faint.
4. You hold open my eyelids. I am troubled and cannot speak.
5. I think about the days from long ago, the years of ancient times.
6. I remember my song in the night. With my heart I meditate, and my spirit searches to understand.
7. Will the Lord reject us forever, and will he never be pleased with us again?
8. Has his loyal love ceased forever? Is his promise ended throughout generations?
9. Has God forgotten to have compassion? Or has he closed off his mercies in anger? Selah
