O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and at night, and have no rest.
My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”
O Lord God of Hosts, how long will You be angry with the prayers of Your people?
O Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before You.
You have covered Yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer should pass through.
Even when I cry for help, He shuts out my prayer.
So leaving them again, He went away and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
And shall not God avenge His own elect and be patient with them, who cry day and night to Him?
In these days He went out to the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God.
night and day praying earnestly that we might see your face and might complete that which is lacking in your faith?
I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience as my forefathers did, as I continually remember you in my prayers night and day,
