Hear my prayer, O Lord, And let my cry come to You.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble.When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me.

“ What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. SelahYou hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

Then, 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 does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or from the winepress?”

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”

“ My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.I will say to God,‘ Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with 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 a sea, or a sea serpent, 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 my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, For my days are but a breath.“ What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him,That You should visit him every morning, And test him every moment?How long? Will You not look away from me, And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?Why then 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 no longer be.”

So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

Then He said to them,“ My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
