1My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and he listened to me. 2In the day of my trouble I sought Jehovah. My hand was stretched out in the night, and did not get tired. I refused to be comforted. 3I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. 4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires: 7Will Jehovah reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more? 8Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations? 9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion? 10Then I thought: I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. 11I will remember Jehovah's deeds! I will remember your wonders of old. 12I will also meditate on all your work and consider your activities. 13Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary. What god is as great as our God? 14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples. 15You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. 16The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they were agitated. The depths also convulsed. 17The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around. 18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. 19Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known. 20You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
