In the Day of Trouble I Sought the Lord

¹I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.+ ²In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.+ ³I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah+ ⁴You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.+ ⁵I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.+ ⁶At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:+ ⁷“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?+ ⁸Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?+ ⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah+ ¹⁰So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”+ ¹¹I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.+ ¹²I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.+ ¹³Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?+ ¹⁴You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.+ ¹⁵With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah+ ¹⁶The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.+ ¹⁷The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.+ ¹⁸Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.+ ¹⁹Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.+ ²⁰You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.+
