To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. 1 I cried to God with my voice, even 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 and didn't cease. My inner self, my mind, refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 You hold my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the past ages.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own mind, and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off through the Kingdom Age? And will he be favorable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone continually? Does his promise fail through the Age of the Age?
9 has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 I will remember the works of Jehovah: surely I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.
13 your way, Oh God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God that do wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
15 You have, with Your Arm, redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw You, Oh God, the waters saw You; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: Your arrows also went abroad.
18 The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the bolts of lightning lightened the world: the Earth trembled and shook.
19 your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
