- {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.
