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

My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer. I cry by night, but I find no rest.

In the days of his life on earth, when he [Christ] offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to the one who was able to save him out of death, and was heard because of his godly reverence. (Galatians 1:1) (Psalm 69:13)

My throat

Mine

My eyes fail from weeping. I am in torment. My heart is pulled out of me to the ground because my people are destroyed. Because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.

I wait

Integrity and honesty will protect me because I wait for you.

Jehovah, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
