1 <To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

2 On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai; my hands are lifted up; my tears flow all night without ceasing; my heart refuses comfort.

4 You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.

5 My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

7 "Will Adonai reject forever? will he never show his favor again?

7 Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

8 Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

9 Has God forgotten to be compassionate? Has he in anger withheld his mercy?" (Selah)

9 Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

10 Then I add, "That's my weakness [supposing] the Most High's right hand could change."

10 And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

18 The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.
