¹ I cried to God with my voice, even to God with my voice; and he gave ear to me. ² In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. ³ I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. ⁴ you holds my eyes waking: 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 commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. ⁷ Will the Lord cast off forever? and will he be favourable no more? ⁸ Is his mercy clean gone forever? does his promise fail for evermore ? ⁹ has God forgotten to be gracious ? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. ¹⁰ And I said, This is my infirmity: 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 meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings. ¹³ your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? ¹⁴ you are the God that doest wonders: you have declared your strength among the people. 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 afraid: the depths also were troubled. ¹⁷ The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad. ¹⁸ The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. ¹⁹ your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known. ²⁰ you led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
