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.
5 Thy dealings in the days of old I then did [mind and] think upon, ⟨p. 125⟩What thou in former ancient times Hast for [me and] thy people done.
6 My songs by night I called to mind; I [searched and] communed with my heart; My spirit diligently fought The cause [and cure] of all my smart.
