Psalms 77:2-4
In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.

resonates with Psalms 77:3-4
Like the psalmist who meditates and finds his spirit overwhelmed, the singer turns inward to memory and melody as a way of processing sorrow, though without the psalm's eventual turn toward God.
