Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food; all the time my enemies ask me, "Where is your God?"

But I call to the LORD God for help, and he will save me.

Morning, noon, and night my complaints and groans go up to him, and he will hear my voice.

LORD God, my savior, I cry out all day, and at night I come before you.

Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them?

Day and night we ask him with all our heart to let us see you personally and supply what is needed in your faith.

I give thanks to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did. I thank him as I remember you always in my prayers night and day.

How much longer, LORD God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?

I cry aloud for help, but God refuses to listen;

By a cloud of fury too thick for our prayers to get through.

At that time Jesus went up a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God.

Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them?

Then he went off from them about the distance of a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed.

An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

Rising from his prayer, he went back to the disciples and found them asleep, worn out by their grief.

Again Jesus left them, went away, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
