¹ I cry out to God;
    I call to God, and he will hear me.
² I look for the Lord on the day of trouble.
    All night long I reach out my hands,
    but I cannot be comforted.
³ When I remember God, I become upset;
    when I think, I become afraid. Selah

⁴ You keep my eyes from closing.
    I am too upset to say anything.
⁵ I keep thinking about the old days,
    the years of long ago.
⁶ At night I remember my songs.
    I think and I ask myself:
⁷ "Will the Lord reject us forever?
    Will he never be kind to us again?
⁸ Is his love gone forever?
    Has he stopped speaking for all time?
⁹ Has God forgotten mercy?
    Is he too angry to pity us?" Selah
¹⁰ Then I say, "This is what makes me sad:
    For years the power of God Most High was with us."

¹¹ I remember what the Lord did;
    I remember the miracles you did long ago.
¹² I think about all the things you did
    and consider your deeds.

¹³ God, your ways are holy.
    No god is as great as our God.
¹⁴ You are the God who does miracles;
    you have shown people your power.
¹⁵ By your power you have saved your people,
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

¹⁶ God, the waters saw you;
    they saw you and became afraid;
    the deep waters shook with fear.
¹⁷ The clouds poured down their rain.
    The sky thundered.
    Your lightning flashed back and forth like arrows.
¹⁸ Your thunder sounded in the whirlwind.
    Lightning lit up the world.
    The earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹ You made a way through the sea
    and paths through the deep waters,
    but your footprints were not seen.
²⁰ You led your people like a flock
    by using Moses and Aaron.
