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 listen to me.

² In the ^(C1)day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
^(C2)In the night my ^(C3)hand was stretched out and did not grow weary;
My soul ^(C4)refused to be comforted.

³ When I remember God, then I am ^(C1)restless;
When I ^(C2)sigh, then ^(C3)my spirit feels weak. Selah

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

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

⁶ I will remember my ^(C1)song in the night;
I ^(C2)will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ^(F1)ponders:

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

⁸ Has His ^(C1)favor ceased forever?
Has His ^(F1)(C2)promise come to an end ^(F2)forever?

⁹ Has God ^(C1)forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger ^(F1)withdrawn His ^(C2)compassion?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 ^(F1)the LORD;
I will certainly ^(C1)remember Your wonders of old.

¹² I will ^(C1)meditate on all Your work,
And on Your deeds with thanksgiving.

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

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

¹⁵ By Your ^(F1)power You have ^(C1)redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and ^(C2)Joseph. Selah

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

¹⁷ The ^(C1)clouds poured out water;
The skies ^(F1)(C2)sounded out;
Your ^(C3)arrows ^(F2)flashed here and there.

¹⁸ The ^(C1)sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The ^(C2)lightning 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,
And Your footprints were not known.

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