1 | I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, that he may hear me. |
2 | In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted. |
3 | I think of God, and I moan; I meditate, and my spirit faints. [Selah] |
4 | Thou dost hold my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. |
5 | I consider the days of old, I remember the years long ago. |
6 | I commune with my heart in the night; I meditate and search my spirit: |
7 | "Will the Lord spurn for ever, and never again be favorable? |
8 | Has his steadfast love for ever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? |
9 | Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?" [Selah] |
10 | And I say, "It is my grief that the right hand of the Most High has changed." |
11 | I will call to mind the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember thy wonders of old. |
12 | I will meditate on all thy work, and muse on thy mighty deeds. |
13 | Thy way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? |
14 | Thou art the God who workest wonders, who hast manifested thy might among the peoples. |
15 | Thou didst with thy arm redeem thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah] |
16 | When the waters saw thee, O God, when the waters saw thee, they were afraid, yea, the deep trembled. |
17 | The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth thunder; thy arrows flashed on every side. |
18 | The crash of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; thy lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook. |
19 | Thy way was through the sea, thy path through the great waters; yet thy footprints were unseen. |
20 | Thou didst lead thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
