1 T o 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 n 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 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.

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

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

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

7 T o the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

8 H ath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

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

10 A nd I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

11 I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,

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

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

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

15 T hou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 T he waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.

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

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

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

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