1 | To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me. |
2 | In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted. |
3 | I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah. |
4 | Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not. |
5 | I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages. |
6 | I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently: |
7 | To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more? |
8 | Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations? |
9 | Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah. |
10 | And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.` |
11 | I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders, |
12 | And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings. |
13 | O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God? |
14 | Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength, |
15 | Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. |
16 | The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled. |
17 | Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down. |
18 | The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh. |
19 | In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known. |
20 | Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron! |
