1 M y voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

2 I n the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted.

3 W hen I remember God, then I am disturbed; When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah.

4 Y ou have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.

6 I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders:

7 W ill the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?

8 H as His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?

9 H as God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.

10 T hen I said, “ It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

11 I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds.

13 Y our way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God?

14 Y ou are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.

15 Y ou have by Your power redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 T he waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.

17 T he clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there.

18 T he sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.

19 Y our way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints may not be known.

20 Y ou led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
