lamentation number 6

I am cast in a pit but I wait patiently for the return of your favor Lord. Hear my quiet prayer and take note of my suffering. Night is long and darkness interminable, raise your hand Lord and guide me into the the light of your grace. Humbly I endure the punishment for my sins. Send winds and light rain to cleanse my soul and heal my spirit. Birds sing and gardens grow when the Lord is pleased. Drinking water is sweet and food flavorful when the Lord smiles upon his prodigal sons.

Lord,
you have mercifully returned my sight
you have gently found me some reason
you have granted me some relief from hostility
you awarded me some tolerance
you sent me gentle sleep
please guide my course
please direct my gaze
