O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and at night, and have no rest.
“I cry unto You, but You do not hear me; I stand up, and You do not regard me.
“Behold, I cry out concerning wrong, but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.

You have covered Yourself with anger and pursued us; You have killed and not pitied.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
