Psalm 76:5–6

4 You kept my eyes from closing;

I was too troubled to speak.

5 I thought about the former days,

the years of long ago;

4 You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I consider the days of old,

the years long ago.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

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,

4 You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

4 You keep my eyes from closing.

I am too upset to say anything.

5 I keep thinking about the old days,

the years of long ago.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

4 Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak. 5 I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.

4 (You keep my eyelids open.) 

I am so upset that I cannot speak. 

5 I have considered the days of old, 

the years long ago. 

4 You have kept me from closing my eyes;

I am troubled and cannot speak.

5 I consider days of old,

years long past.

4 You keep my eyelids from closing;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I consider the days of old

and remember the years of long ago.

4 You hold open my eyelids.

I am troubled and cannot speak.

5 I think about the days from long ago,

the years of ancient times.

4 You kept me from going to sleep.

I was so troubled I couldn’t speak.

5 I thought about days gone by.

I thought about the years of long ago.

4 You have held my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of long ago.
