and I am in deep distress. How long will it be?
Help us, Lord! Don't wait! Pity your servants.
Now I am deeply troubled, and I don't know what to say. But I must not ask my Father to keep me from this time of suffering. In fact, I came into the world to suffer.
Won't God protect his chosen ones who pray to him day and night? Won't he be concerned for them?
and he said to them, “I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me.”
Being cheerful helps when you are sick, but nothing helps when you give up.
“Have you rejected me forever? Won't you be kind again?
Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you, Lord! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God.
Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I should trust you, Lord. I will praise you again because you help me,

I have no more strength than a few drops of water. All my bones are out of joint; my heart is like melted wax.
and I will sing about you at the gate to Zion. I will be happy there because you rescued me.
You, Lord, are the one I praise. So heal me and rescue me! Then I will be completely well and perfectly safe.
