1
I CRIED out to God with my voice -
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
2
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3
I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
4
You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5
I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6
I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit 1 makes diligent search.
7
Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
8
Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His a promise failed 2 forevermore?
9
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
10
And I said, "This is my 3 anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High."
11
I will remember the works of the LORD;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
12
I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.
13
Your way, O God, is in 4 the b sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?
14
You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
15
You have with 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 c afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17
The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18
The voice 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,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
20
You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
