Psalm 55:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

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?

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

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.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
