| 1 | Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. |
| 2 | I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me. |
| 3 | In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled. |
| 4 | I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away. |
| 5 | My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak. |
| 6 | I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind. |
| 7 | And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit. |
| 8 | So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor? |
| 9 | Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation? |
| 10 | And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies? |
| 11 | And I said, "Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High." |
| 12 | I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders, |
| 13 | and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions. |
| 14 | Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God? |
| 15 | You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples. |
| 16 | With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph. |
| 17 | The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up. |
| 18 | Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by. |
| 19 | The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled. |
| 20 | Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known. |
| 21 | You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
