1 I cry aloud to God,aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;my soul refuses to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, I moan;when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I consider the days of old,the years long ago.
6 I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;let me meditate in my heart.”Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7 “Will the Lord spurn forever,and never again be favorable?
8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?Are his promises at an end for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
10 Then I said, “I will appeal to this,to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will ponder all your work,and meditate on your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;you have made known your might among the peoples.
15 You with your arm redeemed your people,the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 When the waters saw you, O God,when the waters saw you, they were afraid;indeed, the deep trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;the skies gave forth thunder;your arrows flashed on every side.
18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lighted up the world;the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was through the sea,your path through the great waters;yet your footprints were unseen.
20 You led your people like a flockby the hand of Moses and Aaron.
