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

^{4 Ref} Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

^{5 Ref} I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

^{6 Ref} I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.
