2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;

at night I stretched out untiring hands,

and I would not be comforted.

3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned;

I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:

My sore ran in the night, and ceased not:

My soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God, and was troubled:

I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

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.

2 I look for the Lord on the day of trouble.

All night long I reach out my hands,

but I cannot be comforted.

when I think, I become afraid.

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

I begin to lose hope as I think about him.

2 I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.

My hands were continually lifted up

all night long;

I refused to be comforted.

I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. Selah
