In my darkest days, I seek the Lord.
    Through the night, my hands are raised up, stretched out, waiting;
And though they do not grow tired,
    my soul is uneasy.
I remember the True God and become distraught.
    I think about Him, and my spirit becomes weak.

[pause][a]

You hold my eyes wide open.
    I am troubled beyond words.

When I was in distress,(A) I sought the Lord;
    at night(B) I stretched out untiring hands,(C)
    and I would not be comforted.(D)

I remembered(E) you, God, and I groaned;(F)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[a](G)
You kept my eyes from closing;
    I was too troubled to speak.(H)
