1 I With my fervent voice did cry To God in all my [grief and] fear; Even to my God with mournful voice, And he to me [in time] gave ear.
2 I sought God in my woeful day, My [constant] sore did run all night; My grieved soul did put away All [offered] comfort and delight.
2 I sought God in my woful day, My [constant] sore did run all night; My grieved soul did put away All [offer'd] comfort and delight.
3 I did remember God, but yet My [grief and] trouble did remain; My spirit over-whelmed was, And did [in me] too much complain.
4 Mine eyes, deprived of quiet sleep, [By night] thou keepest still awake; My trouble is so great and sore, That I can [very] hardly speak.
4 Mine eyes, depriv'd of quiet sleep, [By night] thou keepest still awake; My trouble is so great and sore, That I can [very] hardly speak.
