1 M y cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

2 I n the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Y ou hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

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

6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

7 “ Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

8 H as his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

9 H as God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.

10 T hen I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

11 I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

13 Y our way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

14 Y ou are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

15 Y ou have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 T he waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

17 T he clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

18 T he 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 through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

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