[1] My voice rises to God, and I must cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me. [2] In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted. [3] I remember God and I am disturbed; I muse and my spirit faints. Selah. [4] You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. [5] I give thought to the days of old, The years of long ago. [6] I remember my music in the night; I am musing with my heart, And my spirit is searching: [7] Will the Lord reject evermore? And will He not be favorable again? [8] Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His word ended from generation to generation? [9] Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger shut up His compassion? Selah. [10] Then I said, “It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.” [11] I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. [12] I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds. [13] O God, Your way is holy; What god is great like God? [14] You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. [15] You have by Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. [16] The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled. [17] The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows went here and there. [18] The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. [19] Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, But Your footprints were not known. [20] You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
