To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. |
1 |
I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me.
|
2 |
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted.
|
3 |
I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
|
4 |
You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
|
5 |
I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.
|
6 |
I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.
|
7 |
Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?
|
8 |
Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?
|
9 |
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
|
10 |
And I said, “This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
|
11 |
I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
|
12 |
I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.
|
13 |
Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; Who is so great a God as our God?
|
14 |
You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
|
15 |
You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
|
16 |
The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled.
|
17 |
The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about.
|
18 |
The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.
|
19 |
Your way was in the sea, Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known.
|
20 |
You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
