When my soul is weary within me

When my soul was weary within me, I cried out to God in distress (Ps. 107:5-6).

I resisted God's word and despised the counsel of the Most High (v. 11).

Folly led me to follow the path of rebellion and commit iniquity (v. 17),

so God afflicted me with suffering to humble my heart (v. 12).

In times of despair, when there was no one to help me up (v. 12),

I cried out to God in my pain and distress (vv. 13, 19, 28).

During those moments, God sent His word to heal me (v. 20),

rescued me from trouble and danger (vv. 6, 13, 19, 20),

guided me out of my distress (vv. 14, 28), and led me on the right path (v. 7).

God calmed the storms of my life, bringing peace and tranquility (v. 29).

God satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness (v. 9).

Therefore, I will praise God for His lovingkindness

and the miracles He has performed in my life (vv. 8, 15, 21, 31).
