Psalm 55:2

Attend unto me and hear me: I mourn in my complaint and make a noise

Like a crane or a swallow, so did I complain; I mourned as a dove; I raised my eyes upward, O LORD, I am suffering violence; comfort me.

We all roar like bears and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for saving health, but it has withdrawn from us.

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

For thou art the God of my strength; why dost thou cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

But verily God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

I remembered God and cried out; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

For I have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping,
