My face is red from crying.\par There are dark rings around my eyes.\par
My friend speaks for me\par while my eyes pour out tears to God.\par
My eyes have become almost blind\par because I am very sad and in great pain.\par My whole body has become very thin,\par like a shadow.\par
The darkest night is like morning\par for those evil people.\par Yes, they know the terrors of that\par deadly darkness very well!\par
My great sadness is my only food.\par My tears fall into my drinks.\par
\{I almost died!\}\par Death’s ropes were wrapped around me.\par The grave was closing in around me.\par I was scared and worried.\par
Lord, I have many troubles.\par So be kind to me.\par I am so upset that my eyes are hurting.\par My throat and stomach are aching.\par
God, I prayed to you again and again,\par but I did not talk \{about my secret sins\}.\par I only became weaker every time I prayed.\par
I am getting weak from calling for help.\par My throat is hurting.\par I have waited and looked for help from you\par until my eyes are hurting.\par
“I cry about all these things.\par My eyes, my eyes run down with water.\par There is no comforter near me.\par There is no person that can make me feel better.\par My children are like a wasteland.\par They are like that because the enemy won.”\par
Jesus said to Peter, James, and John, “My soul is full of sorrow. My heart is breaking with sadness. Wait here and stay awake.”
