“I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer; I stand up, but you merely look at me.

I cry to you for help and you do not answer me; I stand, and you only look at me.

“I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer. I stand before you, but you don’t even look.

I cry out to you for help, but you do not answer me;  when I stand up, you merely look at me.

I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

“I cry out to You, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You regard me.

“I shout for help, God, and get nothing, no answer! I stand to face you in protest, and you give me a blank stare! You’ve turned into my tormenter— you slap me around, knock me about. You raised me up so I was riding high and then dropped me, and I crashed. I know you’re determined to kill me, to put me six feet under.

“I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.

“I cry to You for help, [Lord,] but You do not answer me; I stand up, but You [only] gaze [indifferently] at me.

I cry out to you, but you do not answer me; I stand up, and you only look at me.
