✧For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me. ✧2In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted. ✧3I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah ✧4You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak. ✧5I considered the days of old, the years long in the past. ✧6At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered: ✧7“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again? ✧8Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time? ✧9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah ✧10So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.” ✧11I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old. ✧12I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
