1 For the leader; al Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph.
2 I cry aloud to God, cry to God to hear me.
3 On the day of my distress I seek the Lord; by night my hands are raised unceasingly; I refuse to be consoled.
4 When I think of God, I groan; as I ponder, my spirit grows faint. Selah
5 My eyes cannot close in sleep; I am troubled and cannot speak.
6 I consider the days of old; the years long past
7 I remember. In the night I meditate in my heart; I ponder and my spirit broods:
8 "Will the Lord reject us forever, never again show favor?
9 Has God's love ceased forever? Has the promise failed for all ages?
10 Has God forgotten mercy, in anger withheld compassion?" Selah
11 I conclude: "My sorrow is this, the right hand of the Most High has left us."
12 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, your wonders of old I will remember.
13 I will recite all your works; your exploits I will tell.
14 Your way, O God, is holy; what god is as great as our God?
15 You alone are the God who did wonders; among the peoples you revealed your might.
16 With your arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
17 The waters saw you, God; the waters saw you and lashed about, trembled even to their depths.
18 The clouds poured down their rains; the thunderheads rumbled; your arrows flashed back and forth.
19 The thunder of your chariot wheels resounded; your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
20 Through the sea was your path; your way, through the mighty waters, though your footsteps were unseen.
21 You led your people like a flock under the care of Moses and Aaron.
