Lament Lyrics

O Lord! Be merciful to me!
O Lord! Heal me!
For my soul is in anguish
How long, o Lord, how long?

My eyes grow weak with sorrow
They fail because of the troubles they've seen
My sorrow has overwhelmed me
Like a burden too heavy to bear

Hear my cry for mercy!
Do not turn a deaf ear to me!
No one remembers you when he is dead
Who praises you from his grave?

I confess my inequity:
I am troubled by my sin
I am about to fall
My pain is ever with me

Out from the depths, I cry to You
O Lord, hear my voice
