Are the consolations of God too small for you, or the word that deals gently with you?

“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help

my soul is bereft of peace, I have forgotten what happiness is;
Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his sins?
