✧1To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. ✧2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. ✧3I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. ✧4Thou holdest mine eyes waking: 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 made diligent search. ✧7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? ✧8Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore?
