✧1For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me. ✧2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted. ✧3I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah ✧4Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. ✧5I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times. ✧6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search. ✧7Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more? ✧8Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?

✧9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? [Selah
✧10And I said, This is my infirmity; [But I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
✧11I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old.
✧12I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings.
✧13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?
✧14Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.
✧15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah
✧16The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.
✧17The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad.
✧18The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.
✧19Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.
✧20Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
