1
I
1cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2
2In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in
3the night my
4hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul
5refuses to be comforted.
3
When I remember God, I
6moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4
You hold my eyelids open; I am so
7troubled that I cannot speak.
5
I consider
8the days of old, the years long ago.
6
I said,"Let me remember my
9song in the night; let me
10meditate in my heart." Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7
"Will the Lord
11spurn forever, and never again
12be favorable?
8
Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his
13promises at an end for all time?
9
14Has God forgotten to be gracious?
15Has he in anger shut up his compassion?" Selah
10
Then I said, "I will appeal to this, to the years of the
16right hand of the Most High."
11
I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will
17remember your wonders of old.
12
I will ponder all your
18work, and meditate on your
19mighty deeds.
13
Your way, O God, is
20holy.
21What god is great like our God?
14
You are the God who
22works wonders; you have
23made known your might among the peoples.
15
You
24with your arm redeemed your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16
When
25the waters saw you, O God, when the waters saw you, they were afraid; indeed, the deep trembled.
17
The clouds poured out water; the skies
26gave forth thunder; your
27arrows flashed on every side.
18
28The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
29your lightnings lighted up the world; the earth
30trembled and shook.
19
Your
31way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints
32were unseen.
20
You
33led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
