Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan;
Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old Through my roaring all the day long.
I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah
Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter; I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward; O LORD, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.
We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgement, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
