1To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried to God with my voice, [even] to God with my voice; and he gave ear to me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4Thou holdest my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favorable no more?
8Is his mercy wholly gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore?
9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God!
14Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15Thou hast with [thy] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were disturbed.
17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thy arrows also went abroad.
18The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
