² In the ^(A)day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
^(B)In the night my ^(C)hand was stretched out ^[a]without weariness;
My soul ^(D)refused to be comforted.

¹⁷ “You will say this word to them,
‘^(A)Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin ^(B)daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely ^(C)infected wound.
