You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
My soul refuses to touch them; they are sickening food to me.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and have mixed my drink with weeping,
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day, Where is your God?
An Instruction of Asaph. O God, have You cast us off forever? Will Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?
How long, O Jehovah? Will You be angry forever? Shall Your jealousy burn like fire?
And Jehovah gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction; yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers.
You have wrapped Yourself with anger and pursued us; You have slain; You have not pitied.
You have wrapped Yourself with a cloud from any prayer passing through.
