1. I cried out to God with my voice,even to God with my voice; and He listened to me.
2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;in the night my hand is stretched out and does not weary,my soul refuses 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 cannot speak.
5. I have considered the days of old,the years long ago.
6. May I remember my song in the night;may I meditate in my heart;my spirit made a diligent search:
7. “Will the Lord cast off forever,and will He be favorable no more?
8. Has His mercy ceased forever,and have His promises failed for all time?
9. Has God forgotten to be gracious,and has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?” Selah
