I went about blackened, but not by the sun; I stood up in the assembly, I cried for help.
See, I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I am not heard. I cry aloud, but there is no right-ruling.
So my lyre becomes mourning, and my flute the sound of weeping.
I have been bent down; I have been bowed down very much; All day long I have gone mourning.
I say to Ě
For You are the Elohim of my strength. Why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
