You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend [it] in [gratifying] your lusts.

My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is your God?

Why are you downcast, O my soul? And why do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to Him; [He is] the salvation of my countenance.

For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David. Hearken, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.

Attend to me, and hearken to me; I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;

I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; my eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

For the end, for Idithun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to God; and He gave heed to me.

A song of a Psalm for the sons of Korah for the end, upon Mahaleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Heman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before You.
