¹ For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.² I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.³ In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; ⁴ When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. Selah⁵ Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.⁶ I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.⁷ In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:⁸ 'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?⁹ Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?¹⁰ Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' Selah

¹¹ And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.¹² I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.¹³ I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'¹⁴ O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?¹⁵ Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.¹⁶ Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah¹⁷ The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.¹⁸ The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.¹⁹ The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.²⁰ Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.

²¹ Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
