For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

In the Day of Trouble I Sought the Lord

1<To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.+ 2In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.+ 3I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)+ 4You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.+ 5My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.+ 6The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.+ 7Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?+ 8Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?+ 9Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)+ 10And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.+ 11I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.+ 12I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.+ 13Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?+ 14You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.+ 15With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah.)+ 16The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.+ 17The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.+ 18The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.+ 19Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.+ 20You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.+
