[1] I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me. [2] I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted. [3] I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. Selah [4] You have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak. [5] I consider days of old, years long past. [6] At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders. [7] "Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor? [8] Has his faithful love ceased forever? Is his promise at an end for all generations? [9] Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" Selah [10] So I say, "I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed." [11] I will remember the LORD's works; yes, I will remember your ancient wonders. [12] I will reflect on all you have done and meditate on your actions. [13] God, your way is holy. What god is great like God? [14] You are the God who works wonders; you revealed your strength among the peoples. [15] With power you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah [16] The water saw you, God. The water saw you; it trembled. Even the depths shook. [17] The clouds poured down water. The storm clouds thundered; your arrows flashed back and forth. [18] The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world. The earth shook and quaked. [19] Your way went through the sea and your path through the vast water, but your footprints were unseen. [20] You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
