though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.
I cry to you for help and you do not answer me; I stand, and you only look at me.
Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered; I call for help, but there is no justice.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save?
you have wrapped yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through.
O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
