1For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry to God with my voice, Even to God with my voice; and he will give ear to me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and did not slacken; My soul refused to be comforted.
3I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah
4You hold my eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.
6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart; And my spirit makes diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off forever? And will he be favorable no more?
8Is his lovingkindness completely gone forever? Does his promise fail forevermore?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? [Selah
10And I said, This is my infirmity; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11I will make mention of the deeds of Yehovah; For I will remember your wonders of old.
12I will meditate also upon all your work, And muse on your doings.
13Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like God?
14You are the God who does wonders: You have made known your strength among the peoples.
15You have with your arm redeemed your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah
16The waters saw you, O God; The waters saw you, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.
17The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Your arrows also went abroad.
18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world: The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way was in the sea, And your paths in the great waters, And your footsteps were not known.
20You led your people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
