1 [For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by Asaph.] Loudly, I cried to God. Loudly, I cried to God so that he would open his ears to [hear] me. I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me. For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm. I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2 On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help. At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired. Yet, my soul refused to be comforted. 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. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.
3 I sigh as I remember God. I begin to lose hope as I think about him. [Selah] When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4 (You keep my eyelids open.) I am so upset that I cannot speak. You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years long ago. I consider the days of old, the years long ago. I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6 I remember my song in the night and reflect [on it]. My spirit searches [for an answer]: I said, “Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made a diligent search: I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 Will the Lord reject [me] for all time? Will he ever accept me? “Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
8 Has his mercy come to an end forever? Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation? Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? [Selah] Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10 Then I said, |It makes me feel sick that the power of the Most High is no longer the same.| Then I said, “I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the Most High.” Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD. I will remember your ancient miracles. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will reflect on all your actions and think about what you have done. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 O God, your ways are holy! What god is as great as our God? Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your strength known among the nations. You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples. You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your might you have defended your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah] You with your arm redeemed your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The water saw you, O God. The water saw you and shook. Even the depths of the sea trembled. When the waters saw you, O God, when the waters saw you, they were afraid; indeed, the deep trembled. The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured out water. The sky thundered. Even your arrows flashed in every direction. The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth thunder; your arrows flashed on every side. The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 The sound of your thunder rumbled in the sky. Streaks of lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook. Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19 Your road went through the sea. Your path went through raging water, but your footprints could not be seen. Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen. Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
20 Like a shepherd, you led your people. You had Moses and Aaron take them by the hand. You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
