[1] TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF ASAPH. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, || My voice [is] to God, || And He has given ear to me. [2] I sought the Lord in a day of my distress, || My hand has been spread out by night, || And it does not cease, || My soul has refused to be comforted. [3] I remember God, and make a noise, || I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. Selah. [4] You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, || I have been moved, and I do not speak. [5] I have reckoned the days of old, || The years of the ages. [6] I remember my music in the night, || I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently: [7] Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He add to be pleased no longer? [8] Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation? [9] Has God forgotten [His] favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? Selah. [10] And I say: “My weakness is, || The changes of the right hand of the Most High.” [11] I mention the doings of YAH, || For I remember Your wonders of old, [12] And I have meditated on all Your working, || And I talk concerning Your doings. [13] O God, Your way [is] in holiness, || Who [is] a great god like God? [14] You [are] the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples, [15] You have redeemed Your people with strength, || The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. [16] The waters have seen You, O God, || The waters have seen You, || They are afraid—also depths are troubled. [17] Thick clouds have poured out waters, || The skies have given forth a noise, || Also—Your arrows go up and down. [18] The voice of Your thunder [is] in the spheres, || Lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes. [19] Your way [is] in the sea, || And Your paths in many waters, || And Your tracks have not been known. [20] You have led Your people as a flock, || By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
