[[For the excellent musician Jeduthun.] A Psalm Chapter committed to Asaph.]
[1] My voice came to God, when I cried: my voice came to God, and he heard me.
[2] In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran and ceased not in the night: my soul refused comfort.
[3] I did think upon God, and was troubled: I prayed, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.
[4] Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speak.
[5] Then I considered the days of old, and the years of ancient time.
[6] I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine own heart, and my spirit searched diligently.
[7] Will the Lord absent himself forever? And will he show no more favor?
[8] Is his mercy clean gone forever? Doth his promise fail forevermore?
[9] Hath God forgotten to be merciful? Hath he shut up his tender mercies in displeasure? Selah.
[10] And I said, This is my death: yet I remembered the years of the right hand of the Most High.
[11] I remembered the works of the Lord: certainly I remembered thy wonders of old.
[12] I did also meditate all thy works, and did devise of thine acts, saying,
[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 power among the people.
[15] Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arm, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
[16] The waters saw thee, O God: the waters saw thee, and were afraid: yea, the depths trembled.
[17] The clouds poured out water: the heavens gave a sound: yea, thine arrows went abroad.
[18] The voice of thy thunder was round about: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
[19] Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
[20] Thou didst lead thy people like sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
