1 To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and [he] gave ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; my sore bled in the night and ceased not; my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God and cried out; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou didst hold my eyelids open; I am broken and did not speak.

5 I have considered the days from the beginning, the years of the ages.

6 I call to remembrance my songs of the night; I commune with my own heart, and my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8 Is his mercy gone for ever? does [his] word fail from generation to generation?

9 Has God forgotten to have mercy? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity, [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the most High.

11 I remembered the works of JAH; therefore I shall remember thy wonders of old.

12 I meditated also on all thy works and spoke of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, [is] in holiness; who [is so] great a God as [our] God?

14 Thou [art] the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.

15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid; the depths also were troubled.

17 The clouds poured out floods of waters; the heavens thundered; thy bolts [of lightning] also went forth.

18 The voice of thy thunder [was] all around; the lightnings lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook.

19 Thy way [was] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps were not known.

20 Thou didst lead thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.:
