¹My voice rises to God, thus will I cry aloud;

my voice rises to God, thus will He hear me.

²In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;[#Ps 50:15]

in the night my hand was stretched out without ceasing;

my soul refused to be comforted.

³I remembered God, and was troubled;[#Ps 61:2]

I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah

⁴You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

⁵I have considered the days of old,

the years long ago.

⁶I call to remembrance my song in the night;[#Ps 42:8]

I meditate within my heart,

and my spirit ponders:

⁷“Will the Lord reject forever?[#Ps 85:5]

Will He be favorable no more?

⁸Has His mercy ceased forever?

Have His promises failed for all time?

⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has He in anger withheld His tender mercies?” Selah

¹⁰Then I said, “This is my grief;

but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

¹¹I will remember the works of the Lord ;

surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

¹²I will meditate on all Your work

and muse on Your mighty deeds.

¹³Your way, O God, is holy;

what god is great like our God?

¹⁴You are the God who works wonders;[#Ps 72:18]

You have declared Your strength among the peoples.

¹⁵You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,[#Ex 6:6; Dt 9:29]

the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶The waters saw You, O God;

the waters saw You, they were afraid;

the depths also trembled.

¹⁷The clouds poured out water;

the skies gave forth thunder;

Your arrows flashed back and forth.

¹⁸The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;

the lightnings lit up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹Your way was through the sea,

Your path through the great waters;

yet Your footsteps were unseen.

²⁰You led Your people like a flock[#Ex 13:21; Ps 78:52]

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
