Lord, hear my prayer; let my cry for help come before You.

Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God.

I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.Although my spirit is weak within me, You know my way. Along this path I travel they have hidden a trap for me.

What strength do I have that I should continue to hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?

I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. SelahYou have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak.I consider days of old, years long past.At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.“ Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?Has His faithful love ceased forever? Is His promise at an end for all generations?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger withheld His compassion?” Selah

As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him,“ My lord the king, help!”He answered,“ If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”

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

Don’t think of me as a wicked woman; I’ve been praying from the depth of my anguish and resentment.”

I am disgusted with my life. I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.I will say to God:“ Do not declare me guilty! Let me know why You prosecute 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 keep me under guard?When I say: My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,then You frighten me with dreams, and terrify me with visions,so that I prefer strangling— death rather than life in this body.I give up! I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.What is man, that You think so highly of him and pay so much attention to him?You inspect him every morning, and put him to the test every moment.Will You ever look away from me, or leave me alone long enough to swallow?If I have sinned, what have I done to You, Watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, so that I have become a burden to You?Why not forgive my sin and pardon my transgression? For soon I will lie down in the grave. You will eagerly seek me, but I will be gone.

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

Then He said to them,“ My soul is swallowed up in sorrow— to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with Me.”
