1I cried out to God with my voice, to God with my voice; and he listened to me.
2In the day of my trouble I looked for the Lord. My sore ran in the night and did not stop. My soul refused to be comforted.
3I remembered God, and I was troubled. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4You hold my eyes open. I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have thought about the days of long ago, the years of ancient times.
6I call to mind my song in the night. I talk with my own heart, and my spirit searches carefully.
7Will the Lord turn us away for ever? Will he never again show favour?
8Is his mercy completely gone for ever? Does his promise fail for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10And I said, "This is my weakness. But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High."
11I will remember the works of the LORD. Surely I will remember your wonders of long ago.
12I will think deeply about all your work, and talk of the things you have done.
13Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary. Who is so great a God as our God?
14You are the God who does wonders. You have shown your strength among the peoples.
16The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid. The deep places also were troubled.
17The clouds poured out water. The skies sent out a sound. Your arrows also flew everywhere.
18The voice of your thunder was in the heaven. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
19Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
