¹ To 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 and hearken to me. ² In the day of my trouble I seek (inquire of and desperately require) the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without slacking up; I refuse to be comforted. ³ I remember God; I am disquieted and I groan; I muse in prayer, and my spirit faints . Selah ! ⁴ You hold my eyes from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. ⁵ I consider the days of old, the years of bygone times . ⁶ I call to remembrance my song in the night; with my heart I meditate and my spirit searches diligently: ⁷ Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more? ⁸ Have His mercy and loving-kindness ceased forever? Have His promises ended for all time? ⁹ Has God abandoned or forgotten His graciousness? Has He in anger shut up His compassion? Selah ! ¹⁰ And I say, This is my appointed lot and trial, but I will recall the years of the right hand of the Most High , for this is my grief, that the right hand of the Most High changes. ¹¹ I will recall the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember the wonders of old. ¹² I will meditate also upon all Your works and consider all Your deeds. ¹³ Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary . Who is a great God like our God? ¹⁴ You are the God Who does wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the peoples. ¹⁵ You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah ! ¹⁶ When the waters saw You, O God, they were afraid; the deep shuddered also, for the waters saw You. ¹⁷ The clouds poured down water, the skies sent out a sound ; Your arrows went forth . ¹⁸ The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind, the lightnings illumined the world; the earth trembled and shook. ¹⁹ Your way was through the sea, and Your paths through the great waters, yet Your footsteps were not traceable, but were obliterated. ²⁰ You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
