To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

1I cried to God with my voice, to God with my voice; and He gave ear to me.

2In the day of my trouble I sought the LORD; my hand was lifted up, and my tears ceased not in the night; my soul refused to be comforted.

3I remembered God and was troubled; I moaned, and my spirit fainted. Selah.

4You keep my eyes awake; I am too troubled and I cannot speak.

5I have pondered the days of old, the years of ages past.

6I remember my song in the night; I commune with my own heart, and my spirit made diligent search.

7Will the LORD cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?

8Is His mercy gone forever? Has His promise failed for all generations?

9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah.

10And I said, "This is my grief, that the right hand of the Most High could change."

11I will remember the works of the LORD; surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12I will also meditate on all Your work, and talk of Your doings.

13Your way, O God, is in holiness; who is so great a God as our God?

14You are the God Who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the people.

15You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16The waters saw You, O God, the waters saw You; they were afraid; the depths also were troubled.

17The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flew here and there.

18The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

19Your way is in the sea, and Your path in the great waters, and Your footsteps are not known.

20You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
