Psalm 55:2

New King James Version

Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,

See the chapter Copy

Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered; I mourned like a dove; My eyes fail from looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; Undertake for me!

But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah

Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

We all growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We look for justice, but there is none; For salvation, but it is far from us.

For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long.

Hear a just cause, O Lord, Attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips.

You have heard my voice: “Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help.”
