Psalms

Psalm 77:2–4

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, O God, and I groaned;

I mused and my spirit grew faint.

Selah

4You have kept my eyes from closing;

I am too troubled to speak.
