[[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.
