For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me. |
|
2
|
In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted. |
|
3
|
I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah |
|
4
|
You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak. |
|
5
|
I considered the days of old, the years long in the past. |
|
6
|
At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered: |
|
7
|
“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again? |
|
8
|
Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time? |
|
9
|
Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah |
|
10
|
So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.” |
|
11
|
I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old. |
|
12
|
I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds. |
|
13
|
Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God? |
|
14
|
You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples. |
|
15
|
With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah |
|
16
|
The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken. |
|
17
|
The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth. |
|
18
|
Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. |
|
19
|
Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found. |
|
20
|
You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
