Comfort in Trouble from Recalling God's Mighty Deeds.

¹ My voice rises to God, and I will ^(C1)cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

² In the ^(C1)day of my trouble I desperately sought the Lord;
^(C2)In the night my ^(C3)hand was ^(F1)stretched out in prayer without weariness;
My soul ^(C4)refused to be comforted.

³ I remember God; then I am ^(C1)disquieted and I groan;
I ^(C2)sigh in prayer, and ^(C3)my spirit grows faint. Selah.

⁴ You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I ^(C1)cannot speak.

⁵ I have considered the ancient ^(C1)days,
The years of prosperity of long, long ago.

⁶ I will remember my ^(C1)song in the night;
I ^(C2)will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit searches:

⁷ Will the Lord ^(C1)reject forever?
And will He ^(C2)never be favorable again?

⁸ Has His ^(C1)lovingkindness ceased forever?
Have His ^(C2)promises ended for all time?

⁹ Has God ^(C1)forgotten to be gracious?
Or has He in anger withdrawn His ^(C2)compassion? Selah.

¹⁰ And I said, "^(C1)This is my grief,
That the ^(C2)right hand of the Most High has changed and His lovingkindness is withheld."

¹¹ I will solemnly remember the ^(C1)deeds of the LORD;
Yes, I will wholeheartedly ^(C1)remember Your wonders of old.

¹² I will ^(C1)meditate on all Your works
And thoughtfully consider all Your great and wondrous deeds.

¹³ Your way, O God, is ^(C1)holy far from sin and guilt.
^(C2)What god is great like our God?

¹⁴ You are the awesome ^(C1)God who works powerful wonders;
You have ^(C2)demonstrated Your power among the people.

¹⁵ You have with Your great arm ^(C1)redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and ^(C2)Joseph. Selah.

¹⁶ The ^(C1)waters of the Red Sea saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.

¹⁷ The ^(C1)clouds poured down water;
The skies ^(C2)sent out a sound of rumbling thunder;
Your ^(C3)arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.

¹⁸ The ^(C1)voice of Your thunder was in the ^(F1)whirlwind;
The ^(C2)lightnings illumined the world;
The ^(C3)earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹ Your ^(C1)way of escape for Your people was through the sea,
And Your paths through the great waters,
And Your footprints were not traceable.

²⁰ You ^(C1)led Your people like a flock
By the hand of ^(C2)Moses and Aaron to the promised goal.
