In My Distress I Sought the Lord

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

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

³ I remember God and I am ^(C1)disturbed;
I ^(C2)muse and ^(C3)my spirit faints. ^Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.

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

⁵ I give thought to the ^(C1)days of old,
The years of long ago.

⁶ I remember my ^(C1)music in the night;
I ^(C2)am musing with my heart,
And my spirit is searching:

⁷ Will the Lord ^(C1)reject evermore?
And will He ^(C2)not be favorable again?

⁸ Has His ^(C1)lovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His ^(F1)(C2)word ended ^(F2)from generation to generation?

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

¹⁰ Then I said, "^(C1)It is my ^(F1)grief,
That the ^(C2)right hand of the Most High has changed."

¹¹ I shall remember the ^(C1)deeds of Yah;
Surely I will ^(C1)remember Your wonders of old.

¹² I will ^(C1)meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

¹³ O God, Your way is ^(C1)holy;
^(C2)What god is great like God?

¹⁴ You are the ^(C1)God who works wonders;
You have ^(C2)made known Your strength among the peoples.

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

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

¹⁷ The ^(C1)clouds poured out water;
The skies ^(C2)gave forth a sound;
Your ^(C3)arrows went here and there.

¹⁸ The ^(C1)sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The ^(C2)lightnings lit up the world;
The ^(C3)earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹ Your ^(C1)way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
But Your footprints were not known.

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