1 ¶ To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of1 Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
|
|
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore2 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 Thou holdest mine 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 for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
|
|
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore3?
|
|
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath 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 thy wonders of old.
|
|
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
|
|
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
|
|
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
|
|
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
|
|
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
|
|
17 The clouds poured4 out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
|
|
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
|
|
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
|
|
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
