I am

Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

My throat

My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.

I wait

For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.

And now, Lord, what am I waiting for? my hope is in you.
