1: (To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.) My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me. 2: In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted. 3: I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4: Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak. 5: I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6: I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search. 7: Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 8: Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation? 9: Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 10: Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High 11: Will I remember, -- the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old, 12: And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings. 13: O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God? 14: Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples. 15: Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 16: The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled: 17: The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad: 18: The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked. 19: Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known. 20: Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
