³ My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

¹³ Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

⁷ And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

³⁸ Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will be his support when he is ill; but how may a broken spirit be lifted up?

⁷ Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

² In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.

³ I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

¹¹ Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

⁵ Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

⁸ I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.

⁹ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.

¹⁰ My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.

¹⁴ I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

² How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?
