Psalm 22:2

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

O my God, I cry by day, but thou dost not answer; and by night, but find no rest.

See the chapter Copy

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

O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry with thy people's prayers?

O Lord, my God, I call for help by day; I cry out in the night before thee.

thou hast wrapped thyself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through.

though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;

So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.

And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?

In these days he went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God.

praying earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

I thank God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as did my fathers, when I remember you constantly in my prayers.
