1
I cried out to God for help;Icried out to God to hear me.
2
When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out
untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted.
3
I remembered you, O God, and I groaned; I mused, and my sirit grew faint. Selah
4
You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5
I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6
I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired:
7
"Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?
8
Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9
Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" Selah
10
Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
11
I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes,
I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12
I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
13
Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God?
14
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the people.
15
With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16
The waters saw you, O God,
the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17
The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18
Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19
Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
