1 Of Asaph. A psalm. I cry out with my voice to God; with my voice to God, that he may hear me.
2 In the day I have trouble, I seek the Lord. At night my hand stretches out ⌞continually⌟; my soul refuses to be comforted.
3 I remember God and I groan loudly; I meditate and my spirit grows faint.
4 You hold open my eyelids. I am troubled and cannot speak.
5 I think about the days from long ago, the years of ancient times.
6 I remember my song in the night. With my heart I meditate, and my spirit searches to understand.
7 Will the Lord reject us forever, and will he never be pleased with us again?
8 Has his loyal love ceased forever? Is his promise ended throughout generations?
9 Has God forgotten to have compassion? Or has he closed off his mercies in anger? Selah
10 So I said, “This pierces me— the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11 I will remember the deeds of Yah. Surely I will remember your wonders from long ago.
12 I will also muse on all your work, and meditate on your deeds.
13 O God, your way is distinctive. Who is a great god like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.
15 With your arm you redeemed your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 Waters saw you, O God; waters saw you and they trembled. Surely the deeps shook.
17 The clouds poured out water. The skies ⌞thundered⌟. Your arrows also ⌞flew about⌟.
18 The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightnings lit the world; the earth shook and quaked.
19 Your way was through the sea, and your path through many waters. Yet your footprints were not discerned.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
