Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you!

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?

When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. SelahYou hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I consider the days of old, the years long ago.I said,“ Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made a diligent search:“ Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable?Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

Now as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying,“ Help, my lord, O king!”And he said,“ If the Lord will not help you, how shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?”

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.”

“ I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.

“ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you set a guard over me?When I say,‘ My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,’then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,so that I would choose strangling and death rather than my bones.I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.What is man, that you make so much of him, and that you set your heart on him,visit him every morning and test him every moment?How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind? Why have you made me your mark? Why have I become a burden to you?Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be.”

Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.

Then he said to them,“ My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.”
