[1]I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice was addressed to God; and he gave heed to me.
[2]In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
[3]I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
[4]All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.
[5]I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
[6]And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,
[7]Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
[8]Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
[9]Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? Pause.
[10]And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
[11]I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
[12]And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
[13]O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
[14]Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
[15]Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause.
[16]The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
[17]There was an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.
[18]The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
[19]Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
[20]Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
