'Groaning' in the Bible
For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David.Give ear to my words, O Lord,Consider my groaning.
“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted awayThrough my groaning all day long.
Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are doomed to die.
Because of the loudness of my groaningMy bones cling to my flesh.
To hear the groaning of the prisoner,To set free those who were doomed to death,
