Exegesis
Dumiyyah {דֻמִּיָּה | du-miy-yāh} ‘silence’ conveys the absence of God’s voice, while li {לִי | lî} ‘to me’ underscores personal anguish. English renders the Hebrew verb–object–adjunct sequence into a natural subject–verb–object order, preserving parallelism and poetic urgency.

“God”
In context — Psalm 22:2
My God , I call out by day, but You do not answer ; and by night, but there is no silence for me.
