⁶ I am weary with my groaning;
^[a]All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.

⁹ Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.

¹⁸ Their heart cried out to the Lord,
“O wall of the daughter of Zion,
^(A)Let tears run down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief;
Give ^[a]your eyes no rest.

¹⁹ “Arise, ^(B)cry out in the night,
At the beginning of the watches;
^(C)Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord.
Lift your hands toward Him
For the life of your young children,
Who faint from hunger ^(D)at the head of every street.”
