I am utterly spent and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
For my sighing comes like my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
My inward parts are in turmoil and are never still; days of affliction come to meet me.
I go about in sunless gloom; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
While I kept silent, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
We all growl like bears; like doves we moan mournfully. We wait for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.
