Job 10:1
1 "My inner self* loathes my life; ⌊I want to give vent to my complaint⌋;* I want to speak out of the bitterness of my inner self.*
Psalms 77:1-9
1 For the music director, on Jeduthun.* Of Asaph. A psalm.*
I cry out with my voice to God; with my voice to God, that he may hear me. 2 In the day I have trouble, I seek* the Lord. At night my hand stretches out ⌊continually⌋;* my soul refuses to be comforted. 3 I remember God and I groan loudly; I meditate and my spirit grows faint. 4 You hold open my eyelids. I am troubled and cannot speak. 5 I think about the days from long ago, the years of ancient times. 6 I remember my song in the night. With my heart I meditate, and my spirit searches to understand. 7 Will the Lord reject us forever, and will he never be pleased with us again? 8 Has his loyal love ceased forever? Is his promise* ended throughout generations? 9 Has God forgotten to have compassion? Or has he closed off his mercies in anger? Selah

Psalms 88:15-18
15 I am afflicted and perishing from my youth. I bear your terrors. I am distraught.*
16 Your burning anger has passed over me; your sudden fears have destroyed me.
17 They surround me like water all the day; they circle about me altogether.
18 You have removed loved one and friend far from me, my acquaintances far from my darkness.
