Psalms 55:2

¹⁴I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

¹⁹But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

³I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

¹Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

¹¹We all roar like bears and moan sadly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.

⁶I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

²For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears, ¹⁰because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

¹How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? ²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

³When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
