1I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me . 2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted. 3I remember God , and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah
Remembrance of God's Works
4Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak . 5I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times . 6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search. 7Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more? 8Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever ? Doth his promise fail for evermore ? 9Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies ? [Selah
A Turning Point
10And I said, This is my infirmity; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. 11I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah ; For I will remember thy wonders of old . 12I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings .
Confidence in God's Sovereignty
13Thy way , O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God? 14Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples. 15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people , The sons of Jacob and Joseph . [Selah 16The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled. 17The clouds poured out water ; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad. 18The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook. 19Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known. 20Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
