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?
