✧For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me. ✧2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted. ✧3I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah. ✧4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak. ✧5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. ✧6I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires: ✧7“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more? ✧8Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations? ✧9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah. ✧10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.” ✧11I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old. ✧12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings. ✧13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God? ✧14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples. ✧15You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. ✧16The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed. ✧17The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around. ✧18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. ✧19Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known. ✧20You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
