Psalm 77:2-10
English Standard Version
2 (A)In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in (B)the night my (C)hand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul (D)refuses to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, I (E)moan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so (F)troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I consider (G)the days of old,
the years long ago.
6 I said,[a] “Let me remember my (H)song in the night;
let me (I)meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7 “Will the Lord (J)spurn forever,
and never again (K)be favorable?
8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his (L)promises at an end for all time?
9 (M)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
(N)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

Habakkuk 3:16-18
English Standard Version
16 (A)I hear, and (B)my body trembles;
my lips quiver at the sound;
(C)rottenness enters into my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet (D)I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
to come upon people who invade us.
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 (E)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
(F)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

(F)Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,

Psalm 43:2-5
English Standard Version
2 For you are (A)the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you (B)rejected me?
Why do I (C)go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 (D)Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your (E)holy hill
and to your (F)dwelling!
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.
5 (G)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
(H)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
Jeremiah 20:7-11
English Standard Version
7 O Lord, (A)you have deceived me,
and I was deceived;
(B)you are stronger than I,
and you have prevailed.
(C)I have become a laughingstock all the day;
everyone mocks me.
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I shout, (D)“Violence and destruction!”
For (E)the word of the Lord has become for me
(F)a reproach and (G)derision all day long.
9 If I say, “I will not mention him,
or speak any more in his name,”
(H)there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
shut up in my bones,
and (I)I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.
10 (J)For I hear many whispering.
(K)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! (L)Let us denounce him!”
say all my (M)close friends,
(N)watching for (O)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then (P)we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
11 But (Q)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;
(R)they will not overcome me.
(S)They will be greatly shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their (T)eternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.
Psalm 73:12-16
English Standard Version
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they (A)increase in riches.
13 All in vain have I (B)kept my heart clean
and (C)washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long I have been (D)stricken
and (E)rebuked (F)every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
I would have betrayed (G)the generation of your children.
16 But when I thought how to understand this,
it seemed to me (H)a wearisome task,
