I go in mourning with no sun; I stood up and I cried out in the congregation.
Behold, I cry out, Violence! And I am not answered. I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
And my lyre has turned to mourning, and my flute to the sound of weeping.
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
I will say to God my rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the cruelty of the enemy?
For You are the God of my strength; why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning under the affliction of the enemy?
