[1]For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.[2]I will lift up my voice unto God, an cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.[3]In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.[4]When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. Selah[5]Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.[6]I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.[7]In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I w commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:[8]'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?[9]Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?[10]Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' Selah[11]And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.[12]I will make mention of the deeds of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.[13]I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'[14]O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?[15]Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast mad known Thy strength among the peoples.[16]Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah[17]The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.[18]The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.[19]The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.[20]Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.[21]Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
