| 1
| I will cry aloud to God; *
I will cry aloud, and he will hear me.
|
| 2
| In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
*
my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire;
I refused to be comforted.
|
| 3
| I think of God, I am restless, *
I ponder, and my spirit faints.
|
| 4
| You will not let my eyelids close; *
I am troubled and I cannot speak.
|
| 5
| I consider the days of old; *
I remember the years long past;
|
| 6
| I commune with my heart in the night; *
I ponder and search my mind.
|
| 7
| Will the Lord cast me off for ever? *
will he no more show his favor?
|
| 8
| Has his loving-kindness come to an end for
ever? *
has his promise failed for evermore?
|
| 9
| Has God forgotten to be gracious? *
has he, in his anger, withheld his compassion?
|
| 10
| And I said, "My grief is this: *
the right hand of the Most High has lost its power."
|
| 11
| I will remember the works of the LORD, *
and call to mind your wonders of old time.
|
| 12
| I will meditate on all your acts *
and ponder your mighty deeds.
|
| 13
| Your way, O God, is holy; *
who is so great a god as our God?
|
| 14
| You are the God who works wonders *
and have declared your power among the peoples.
|
| 15
| By your strength you have redeemed your people,
*
the children of Jacob and Joseph.
|
| 16
| The waters saw you, O God;
the waters saw you and trembled; *
the very depths were shaken.
|
| 17
| The clouds poured out water;
the skies thundered; *
your arrows flashed to and fro;
|
| 18
| The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lit up the world; *
the earth trembled and shook.
|
| 19
| Your way was in the sea,
and your paths in the great waters, *
yet your footsteps were not seen.
|
| 20
| You led your people like a flock *
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
