In My Distress I Sought the Lord 1My voice rises to God, and I must cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me. 2In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out [†]without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted. 3I remember God and I am disturbed; I muse and my spirit faints. [†]Selah. 4You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5I give thought to the days of old, The years of long ago. 6I remember my music in the night; I am musing with my heart, And my spirit is searching: 7Will the Lord reject evermore? And will He not be favorable again? 8Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His [†]word ended [†]from generation to generation? 9Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger shut up His compassion? [†]Selah. 10Then I said, “It is my [†]grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.” 11I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 12I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds. 13O God, Your way is holy; What god is great like God? 14You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. 15You have by Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 16The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled. 17The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows went here and there. 18The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. 19Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, But Your footprints were not known. 20You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
