| [1]To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me. |
[1]My voice came to God, when I cried: my voice came to God, and he heard me. |
| [2]In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted. |
[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 remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah. |
[3]I did think upon God, and was troubled: I prayed, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah. |
| [4]Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not. |
[4]Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speak. |
| [5]I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages. |
[5]Then I considered the days of old, and the years of ancient time. |
| [6]I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently: |
[6]I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine own heart, and my spirit searched diligently. |
| [7]To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more? |
[7]Will the Lord absent himself forever? And will he show no more favor? |
| [8]Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations? |
[8]Is his mercy clean gone forever? Doth his promise fail forevermore? |
| [9]Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah. |
[9]Hath God forgotten to be merciful? Hath he shut up his tender mercies in displeasure? Selah. |
| [10]And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.' |
[10]And I said, This is my death: yet I remembered the years of the right hand of the Most High. |
| [11]I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders, |
[11]I remembered the works of the Lord: certainly I remembered thy wonders of old. |
| [12]And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings. |
[12]I did also meditate all thy works, and did devise of thine acts, saying, |
| [13]O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God? |
[13]Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God! |
| [14]Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength, |
[14]Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people. |
| [15]Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. |
[15]Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arm, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. |
| [16]The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled. |
[16]The waters saw thee, O God: the waters saw thee, and were afraid: yea, the depths trembled. |
| [17]Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down. |
[17]The clouds poured out water: the heavens gave a sound: yea, thine arrows went abroad. |
| [18]The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh. |
[18]The voice of thy thunder was round about: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. |
| [19]In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known. |
[19]Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. |
| [20]Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron! |
[20]Thou didst lead thy people like sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
