1My voice came to God, when I cried: my voice came to God; and he heard me.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran and ceased not in the night: my soul refused comfort.
3I did think upon God, and was troubled: I prayed, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.
4Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied, and could not speak.
5Then I considered the days of old: and the years of ancient time.
6I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine own heart, and my spirit searched diligently.
7Will the Lord absent himself forever? and will he show no more favor?
8Is his mercy clean gone forever? doth his promise fail forevermore?
9Hath God forgotten to be merciful? hath he shut up his tender mercies in displeasure? Selah.
10And I said, This is my death: yet I remembered the years of the right hand of the most High.
11I remembered the works of the Lord: certainly I remembered thy wonders of old.
12I did also meditate all thy works, and did devise of thine acts, saying,
13Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuary: who is so great a God, as our God!
14Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy power among the people.
15Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arm, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16The waters saw thee, O God: the waters saw thee, and were afraid: yea, the depths trembled.
17The clouds poured out water: the heavens gave a sound: yea, thine arrows went abroad.
18The voice of thy thunder was round about; the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
20Thou didst lead thy people like sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
