My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

My soul is in deep anguish.(A)
    How long,(B) Lord, how long?

Turn,(C) Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.(D)
Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?(E)

I am worn out(F) from my groaning.(G)

All night long I flood my bed with weeping(H)
    and drench my couch with tears.(I)
My eyes grow weak(J) with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.

My soul also is greatly (A)troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?

Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

In the grave who will give You thanks?

[a]All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
(C)My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.
