2 When I was in deep trouble,I searched for the Lord.All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven,but my soul was not comforted.
3 I think of God, and I moan,overwhelmed with longing for his help.Interlude
4 You don’t let me sleep.I am too distressed even to pray!
5 I think of the good old days,long since ended,
6 when my nights were filled with joyful songs.I search my soul and ponder the difference now.
7 Has the Lord rejected me forever?Will he never again be kind to me?
8 Is his unfailing love gone forever?Have his promises permanently failed?
