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.
When I remember God, then I am (E)disturbed;
When I (F)sigh, then (G)my spirit grows faint. [b]Selah.
You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I (H)cannot speak.
