2 In times of trouble I pray to the Lord;all night long I lift my hands in prayer,but I cannot find comfort.
3 When I think of God, I sigh;when I meditate, I feel discouraged.
4 He keeps me awake all night;I am so worried that I cannot speak.
5 I think of days gone byand remember years of long ago.
6 I spend the night in deep thought;I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
7 “Will the Lord always reject us?Will he never again be pleased with us?
8 Has he stopped loving us?Does his promise no longer stand?
