2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.

2In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

3I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.

7"Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?

7“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?

8Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?

8Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?

9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"

9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah

16The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.

16The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.

17The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
