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

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice to God, and I cry, my voice to God, And He hath given ear unto 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 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.

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

I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.

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

Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.

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

I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.

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

I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:

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

To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

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

Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

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

Hath God forgotten favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

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

And I say: `My weakness is, The changes 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 mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,

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

And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.

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

O God, in holiness Thy way, Who a great god like God?

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

Thou the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

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

Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy 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 have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.

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

Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.

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

The voice of Thy thunder in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.

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

In the sea Thy way, And Thy paths in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

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

Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
