Won't God protect his chosen ones who pray to him day and night? Won't he be concerned for them?
Day and night my tears are my only food, as everyone keeps asking, “Where is your God?”

Day and night we sincerely pray that we will see you again and help you to have an even stronger faith.

Lord God All-Powerful, how much longer will the prayers of your people make you angry?
