I will speak in ethe bitterness of my soul.
Job 23:2
2 “Today also my fcomplaint is bitter; ▼▼Or defiant

with mwaiting for my God.

my soul qrefuses to be comforted.
3When I remember God, I rmoan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so stroubled that I cannot speak.
5I consider tthe days of old,
the years long ago.
6I said, ▼
▼Hebrew lacks I said
“Let me remember my vsong in the night;let me wmeditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7“Will the Lord xspurn forever,
and never again ybe favorable?
8Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his zpromises at an end for all time?
9 aaHas God forgotten to be gracious?
abHas he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

I adspread out my hands to you.

3 For my days aepass away like smoke,and my afbones burn like a furnace.
4My heart is agstruck down like grass and ahhas withered;
I aiforget to eat my bread.
5Because of my loud groaning
my ajbones cling to my flesh.
Psalms 143:4-7
4Therefore my spirit akfaints within me;my heart within me is appalled.
5 alI remember the days of old;
amI meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
6 anI stretch out my hands to you;
aomy soul thirsts for you like apa parched land. Selah
7 aqAnswer me quickly, O Lord!
arMy spirit fails!
asHide not your face from me,
atlest I be like those who go down to the pit.
