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

In the Day of Trouble I Sought the Lord

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