O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my cry for help!

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles.Even when my strength leaves me, you watch my footsteps. 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 prolong my life?

I said,“ I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me.”( Selah)You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak.I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.I said,“ During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening.I asked,“ Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor?Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”

While the king of Israel was passing by on the city wall, a woman shouted to him,“ Help us, my master, O king!”He replied,“ No, let the LORD help you. How can I help you? The threshing floor and winepress are empty.”

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up.You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.

Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman, for until now I have spoken from my deep pain and anguish.”

“ I am weary of my life; I will complain without restraint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.I will say to God,‘ Do not condemn me; tell me why you are contending with me.’

“ Therefore, I will not refrain 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 the creature of the deep, that you must put me under guard?If 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 prefer strangling, and death more than life.I loathe it; I do not want to live forever; leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!“ What is mankind that you make so much of them, and that you pay attention to them?And that you visit them every morning, and try them every moment?Will you never look away from me, will you not let me alone long enough to swallow my spittle?If I have sinned– what have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you set me as your target? Have I become a burden to you?And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and you will seek me diligently, but I will be gone.”

Moses told this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and hard labor.

Then he said to them,“ My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”
