²⁴ For my sighing comes ^(A)instead of^[a] my bread,
    and my ^(B)groanings are poured out like water.

⁹ For I eat ashes like bread
    and ^(A)mingle tears with my drink,

⁵ You have fed them with ^(A)the bread of tears
    and given them tears to drink in full measure.

^3 (A)My tears have been my food
    day and night,
^(B)while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”
⁴ These things I remember,
    as I ^(C)pour out my soul:
^(D)how I would go ^(E)with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    ^(F)a multitude keeping festival.

⁸ I am feeble and crushed;
    I ^(A)groan because of the tumult of my heart.

⁸ though ^(A)I call and cry for help,
    he shuts out my prayer;

¹¹ We all growl like bears;
    ^(A)we moan and moan like doves;
^(B)we hope for justice, but there is none;
    for salvation, but it is far from us.

22 ^(A)My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so ^(B)far from saving me, from the words of my ^(C)groaning?
² O my God, I cry by ^(D)day, but you do not answer,
    and by night, but I find no rest.
