I cried aloud to God for help;
I prayed that God would hear.
When I was plunged in deep distress,
I sought the Lord in prayer.
At night I stretched untiring hands,
relief my soul refused.
Rememb'ring you, O God, I groaned
with longing as I mused.
In my distress I could not speak;
from sleep you kept my eye.
I thought about the former days,
the years which have gone by.
Throughout the watches of the night
my songs I called to mind.
I pondered deeply, while my heart
an answer tried to find:
"For ever will the Lord reject
and never show his grace?
Has he withdrawn his steadfast love
and turned from me his face?
