Psalms 77:3
1 I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
