1
I cried out to God1 for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2
When I was in distress,2 I sought the Lord; at night3 I stretched out untiring hands4 and my soul refused to be comforted.53
I remembered6 you, O God, and I groaned;7 I mused, and my spirit grew faint.8 "Selah"
4
You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.95
I thought about the former days,10 the years of long ago;
6
I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired:
7
"Will the Lord reject forever?11 Will he never show his favor12 again?
8
Has his unfailing love13 vanished forever? Has his promise14 failed for all time?
9
Has God forgotten to be merciful?15 Has he in anger withheld his compassion?16" "Selah"
10
Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand17 of the Most High."
