To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

¹ I cry aloud to God,
   aloud to God, and he will hear me.
² In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
   in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;
   my soul refuses to be comforted.
³ When I remember God, I moan;
   when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

⁴ You hold my eyelids open;
   I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵ I consider the days of old,
   the years long ago.
⁶ I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;
   let me meditate in my heart.”
   Then my spirit made a diligent search:
⁷ “Will the Lord spurn forever,
   and never again be favorable?
⁸ Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
   Are his promises at an end for all time?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious?
   Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

¹⁰ Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
   to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

¹¹ I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
   yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
¹² I will ponder all your work,
   and meditate on your mighty deeds.
¹³ Your way, O God, is holy.
   What god is great like our God?
¹⁴ You are the God who works wonders;
   you have made known your might among the peoples.
¹⁵ You with your arm redeemed your people,
   the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶ When the waters saw you, O God,
   when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
   indeed, the deep trembled.
¹⁷ The clouds poured out water;
   the skies gave forth thunder;
   your arrows flashed on every side.
¹⁸ The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
   your lightnings lighted up the world;
   the earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹ Your way was through the sea,
   your path through the great waters;
   yet your footprints were unseen.
²⁰ You led your people like a flock
   by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
