² Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

¹⁴ Like a swallow `or' a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail `with looking' upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

¹¹ We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,

¹⁰ Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

³ I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

¹⁹ But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

¹ Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

² 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?

⁶ I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

³ When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

¹ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
