8 Why won't God give me what I ask?Why won't he answer my prayer?
9 If only he would go ahead and kill me!
10 If I knew he would, I would leap for joy,no matter how great my pain.I know that God is holy;I have never opposed what he commands.
11 What strength have I got to keep on living?Why go on living when I have no hope?
12 Am I made of stone? Is my body bronze?
13 I have no strength left to save myself;there is nowhere I can turn for help.
14 In trouble like this I need loyal friends —whether I've forsaken God or not.
