Psalm 22:2

New International Version

My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.

See the chapter Copy

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?

My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.

I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.

Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.

Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.

How long, Lord God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
