1 |
{To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me. -
|
2 |
In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted. -
|
3 |
I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. -
|
4 |
Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak. -
|
5 |
I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times. -
|
6 |
I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search. -
|
7 |
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? -
|
8 |
Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation? -
|
9 |
Hath łGod forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. -
|
10 |
Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High -
|
11 |
Will I remember, -- the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old, -
|
12 |
And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings. -
|
13 |
O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a łgod as God? -
|
14 |
Thou art the łGod that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples. -
|
15 |
Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. -
|
16 |
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled: -
|
17 |
The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad: -
|
18 |
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked. -
|
19 |
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known. -
|
20 |
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. -
