1 My voice goes to God, and I will cry out; my voice goes to God, and he will listen to me.
2 In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; at night my hand was stretched out and did not tire; my soul would not be comforted.
3 I think of God, and I groan; I ponder, and my spirit faints. Selah.
4 You have held my eyes awake; I am troubled and cannot speak.
5 I have thought about the days of old, the years of long ago.
6 I call to mind my music in the night; with my heart I reflect, and my spirit searches diligently:
7 "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he be favorable no more?
8 Is his steadfast love gone for good? Has his word failed for generation after generation?
9 Has God forgotten to show favor? Has he shut up his compassion in anger?" Selah.
10 Then I said, "It is my affliction, that the right hand of the Most High has changed."
11 I will call to mind the works of the LORD; indeed, I will remember your wonders of long ago.
12 I will ponder all your work and reflect on your deeds.
13 O God, your way is in the holy place; what god is as great as God?
14 You are the God who does wonders; you have made your strength known among the peoples.
15 You redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and were in anguish; the deeps too shook.
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies sent out thunder; your arrows went flying here and there.
18 The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; flashes lit up the world; the earth shook and quaked.
19 Through the sea was your way, and your paths through mighty waters, and your footprints were not seen.
20 You guided your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
