A prayer of David. Hear, Adonai, a just plea, listen to my cry! Give ear to my prayer— from lips with no deceit.
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle through my groaning all day long.
For You are my God, my stronghold. Why have You spurned me? Why do I go about gloomy because of the oppression of the enemy?
In the day of my trouble I seek my Lord. At night my hand stretches out untiringly. My soul refuses to be comforted.
Like a swallow or a crane, I whisper, I moan like a dove. My eyes are weary, looking upward. Adonai, I am oppressed, be my security!
All of us growl like bears or moan like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.
