Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power; they rise up when they despair of life.

Insults have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

I have not run away from being your shepherd; you know I have not desired the day of despair.

We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need.

Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, For the help of His presence.
