Solomon’s Temple
1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord ’s wrath.
2He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light;
5He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
7He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.
8Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.
17I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”
19I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
20I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.

to the one who seeks him;
26it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
