Psalm 77:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks their poison; God's sudden terrors are arrayed against me.

That is why I am terrified in his presence; when I consider, I am afraid because of him.

For the calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his majesty I was powerless.

Do not cause me dismay! You are my source of safety in times of trouble.

For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol.

For my days go up in smoke, and my bones are charred like a fireplace.

"Therefore, I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

I am deprived of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is.

My heart beats violently within me; the horrors of death overcome me.

From the most remote place on earth I call out to you in my despair. Lead me up to an inaccessible rocky summit!

I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles.

My strength leaves me; I am absolutely shocked.

If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,'

That is why I am terrified in his presence; when I consider, I am afraid because of him.

Deliver me from my distress; rescue me from my suffering!
