Psalm 55:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security."

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
