1I cried out to God for help;
with my voice to God, that He may hear me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
by night my hands were stretched out without ceasing,
and my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remember God, and I groan loudly;
I contemplate, and my spirit grows faint Selah
4 You keep my eyes from closing;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old,
the years of long ago.
6 I remembered my songs in the night;
I contemplated within my heart and my spirit inquired:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?
Will He never show His favour again?
8 Has His faithful love ceased forever?
Are His promises at an end forever?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger withheld His compassion?” Selah
10 Then I thought, “This is my grief:
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will meditate on all Your works,
and contemplate all Your mighty deeds.
13 Your ways, O God, are holy;
what god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;
You have displayed Your strength among the peoples.
15 With You mighty arm You have redeemed Your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God;
when the waters saw You, they convulsed;
the very depths trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
the skies roared with thunder;
Your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 The crash of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
Your lightning bolts lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19 Your way went through the sea,
Your path, through the mighty waters,
yet Your footprints were not seen.
20 You led Your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
