Psalm 22:2

Good News Translation (US Version)

During the day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer; I call at night, but get no rest.

See the chapter Copy

Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them?

Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food; all the time my enemies ask me, “Where is your God?”

Lord God, my savior, I cry out all day, and at night I come before you.

I give thanks to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did. I thank him as I remember you always in my prayers night and day.

Day and night we ask him with all our heart to let us see you personally and supply what is needed in your faith.

At that time Jesus went up a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God.

Again Jesus left them, went away, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

By a cloud of fury too thick for our prayers to get through.

I cry aloud for help, but God refuses to listen;

How much longer, Lord God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?
