[1] My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me. [2] In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out and did not grow weary; My soul refused to be comforted. [3] When I remember God, then I am restless; When I sigh, then my spirit feels weak. Selah [4] You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. [5] I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago. [6] I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders: [7] Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again? [8] Has His favor ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever? [9] Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion?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 the Lord; I will certainly remember Your wonders of old. [12] I will meditate on all Your work, And on Your deeds with thanksgiving. [13] Your way, God, is holy; What god is great like our God? [14] You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. [15] By Your power You have redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah [16] The waters saw You, God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The ocean depths also trembled. [17] The clouds poured out water; The skies sounded out; Your arrows flashed here and there. [18] The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightning lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. [19] Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints were not known. [20] You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
