“Lord!
All my longing is known to you.
My sighing is not hidden from you.
My heart throbs.
My strength fails me.
The light of my eyes has gone from me.
My friends and companions
Stand aloof from my affliction.
My neighbors stand far off.”
David made a plea to the Lord, God, who knew his situation. He was aware of his longing and sighing that was not hidden from him. His heart throbbed. His strength failed. His eyesight was growing dim. His friends, companions, and neighbors were standing aloof from him and his afflictions. Only God could help him.
