Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away
Through my groaning all the day long.
I am numb and greatly bruised [deadly cold and completely worn out];
I groan because of the disquiet and moaning of my heart.
We all groan and growl like bears,
And coo sadly like doves;
We hope for justice, but there is none,
For salvation, but it is far from us.
Even when I cry out and shout for help,
He shuts out my prayer.
