3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned;

I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.

4 You kept my eyes from closing;

I was too troubled to speak.

3 I remembered God, and was troubled:

I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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!

3 I remembered God, and was troubled;

I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.

Selah

4 You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

3 When I remember God, I become upset;

when I think, I become afraid.

Selah

4 You keep my eyes from closing.

I am too upset to say anything.

3 I remember God, and am disquieted:

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

3 I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.

3 I sigh as I remember God. 

I begin to lose hope as I think about him. 

Selah 

4 (You keep my eyelids open.) 

I am so upset that I cannot speak. 

3 I think of God; I groan;

I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. Selah

4 You have kept me from closing my eyes;

I am troubled and cannot speak.

3 I think of God, and I moan;

I meditate, and my spirit faints.   Selah

4 You keep my eyelids from closing;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

3 I remember God and I groan loudly;

I meditate and my spirit grows faint. Selah

4 You hold open my eyelids.

I am troubled and cannot speak.

3 God, I remembered you, and I groaned.

I thought about you, and I became weak. Selah

4 You kept me from going to sleep.

I was so troubled I couldn’t speak.

3 When I remember God, then I am disturbed;

When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint.

Selah.

4 You have held my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
