I am weary with my groaning;
Every night I soak my bed with tears,
I drench my couch with my weeping.

They wander around for food [to devour]
And growl all night if they are not satisfied.

My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

In the daytime He led them with a cloud
And all the night with a light of fire.

Behold, bless and praise the Lord, all servants of the Lord (priests, Levites),
Who stand and serve by night in the house of the Lord.
