2. Psalm 77:1-4 1 I cried out to God with my voice-To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. 4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
