Mourning I have gone without the sun, I have risen, in an assembly I cry.
Lo, I cry out -- violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment.
And my harp doth become mourning, And my organ the sound of weeping.
I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?
For thou `art' the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?
