1 M y voice goes up to God, and I will cry out. My voice goes up to God and He will hear me.

I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me.

2 I looked to the Lord when I was in trouble. I put out my hand at night, and it did not get tired. My soul would not be comforted.

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

3 W hen I remember God, then I am troubled. When I am in deep thought, then my spirit becomes weak.

I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah

4 Y ou keep my eyes from closing. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have thought about the days of old, the years of long ago.

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

6 I remember my song in the night. I think with my heart. And my spirit asks questions.

I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.

7 W ill the Lord turn away forever? Will He never show favor again?

Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?

8 H as His loving-kindness stopped forever? Has His promise come to an end for all time?

Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?

9 H as God forgotten to be loving and kind? Has He in anger taken away His loving-pity?

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

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

And I said, “This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

11 I will remember the things the Lord has done. Yes, I will remember the powerful works of long ago.

I will remember the works of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will think of all Your work, and keep in mind all the great things You have done.

I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.

13 O God, Your way is holy. What god is great like our God?

Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; Who is so great a God as our God?

14 Y ou are the God Who does great works. You have shown Your power among the people.

You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples.

15 Y ou have set free Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph, with Your strong arm.

You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 T he waters saw You, O God. The waters saw You and shook. The sea shook also.

The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled.

17 T he clouds poured down water. The sky sounded with thunder. Your arrows of lightning went this way and that.

The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about.

18 T he sound of Your thunder was in the turning wind. The lightning lit up the world. The earth shook.

The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.

19 Y our way was through the sea. Your paths went through the powerful waters. And it cannot be known where You stepped.

Your way was in the sea, Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known.

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

You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
