I will praise You with the lyre,
God, my God.

Why have You rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?

God should be our greatest desire, and when life gets in the way we should cry out to God from the places of safety, like Church, and in the midst of trials, just like David did when running from his son who tried to steal the throne.
