20 “I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer;

I stand up, but you merely look at me.

21 You turn on me ruthlessly;

with the might of your hand you attack me.

20 I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;

I stand, and you only look at me.

21 You have turned cruel to me;

with the might of your hand you persecute me.

20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me:

I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

21 Thou art become cruel to me:

With thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

20 “I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer.

I stand before you, but you don’t even look.

21 You have become cruel toward me.

You use your power to persecute me.

20 “I cry out to You, but You do not answer me;

I stand up, and You regard me.

21 But You have become cruel to me;

With the strength of Your hand You oppose me.

20 “I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer;

I stand up, but you just look at me.

21 You have turned on me without mercy;

with your powerful hand you attacked me.

20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me:

I stand up, and thou gazest at me.

21 Thou art turned to be cruel to me;

With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me.

20 I cry unto thee, and thou answerest me not; I stand up, and thou lookest at me. 21 Thou art changed to a cruel one to me; with the strength of thy hand thou pursuest me.

20 “I call to you for help, 

but you don’t answer me. 

I stand up, but you just look at me. 

21 You have begun to treat me cruelly. 

With your mighty hand you assault me. 

20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me;

when I stand up, You merely look at me.

21 You have turned against me with cruelty;

You harass me with Your strong hand.

20 I cry to you and you do not answer me;

I stand, and you merely look at me.

21 You have turned cruel to me;

with the might of your hand you persecute me.

20 I cry to you for help, but you do not answer me;

I stand, and you merely look at me.

21 You have turned cruel to me;

you persecute me with your hand’s might.

20 “God, I cry out to you. But you don’t answer me.

I stand up. But all you do is look at me.

21 You do mean things to me.

Your mighty hand attacks me.
