I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go around mourning because of oppression by the enemy?”
10 It is like breaking my bones when my foes taunt me.
All day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”

Why so disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I will again praise him
    for my salvation from the face of my God.[a]
