Job 10:1
Job Continues: A Plea to God
1 “I aloathe my life;I will give free utterance to my bcomplaint;
I will speak in cthe bitterness of my soul.
Psalms 77:1-9
In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord
To the choirmaster: according to dJeduthun. A Psalm of eAsaph.
1 I fcry aloud to God,aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2 gIn the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in hthe night my ihand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul jrefuses to be comforted.
3When I remember God, I kmoan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so ltroubled that I cannot speak.
5I consider mthe days of old,
the years long ago.
6I said, ▼
▼Hebrew lacks I said
“Let me remember my osong in the night;let me pmeditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7“Will the Lord qspurn forever,
and never again rbe favorable?
8Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his spromises at an end for all time?
9 tHas God forgotten to be gracious?
uHas he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
Psalms 88:15-18
15Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain
16Your wrath has swept over me;
your wdreadful assaults destroy me.
17They xsurround me like a flood yall day long;
they zclose in on me together.
18You have caused aamy beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness. ▼
▼Or darkness has become my only companion
