“I’m not arguing with mere human beings. So why shouldn’t I be angry and uneasy?
So you search for my mistakes. You look for my sin.
“I’m so weak that I no longer have any hope. Things have gotten so bad that I can’t wait for help anymore.
Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help.
My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Savior and my God.
Moses reported these things to the Israelites. But they didn’t listen to him. That’s because they had lost all hope and had to work very hard.
Then he said to them, “My soul is very sad. I feel close to death. Stay here. Keep watch with me.”
Don’t think of me as an evil woman. I’ve been praying here because I’m very sad. My pain is so great.”
