1 I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. qr Selah
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
6 At 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?
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” qr Selah
10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
15 With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. qr Selah
16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19 Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
