Psalm 55:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

([Psalm of David]) How long, O Jehovah? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

When I kept silent about my sins, my body wasted away and I groaned all day long.

I am bent over and bowed down very low. All day I walk around in sadness.

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 mingled my drink with weeping.

I cry like a swallow (swift). I mourn like a dove. My eyes are red from looking to you, Jehovah. I am terribly abused. Please come and help me.

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