1 To the chief Musician, 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.

<>I cried unto God … and he gave ear unto me.

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

<>In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord, <>sought the Lord

3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

<>v. 5

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

<>my song in the night, <>I commune with mine own heart, <>my spirit made diligent search

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

<>Will the Lord cast off for ever?, <>will he be favourable no more?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

<>Is his mercy clean gone for ever?, <>his mercy, <>doth his promise fail

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

<>Hath God forgotten to be gracious?, <>hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?, <>his tender mercies

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

11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

<>v. 11

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

<>Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary, <>Thy way, <>who is so great a God as our God?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

<>Thou art the God that doest wonders

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

<>redeemed, <>the sons of Jacob and Joseph, <>sons

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

<>The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid

17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

<>thine arrows

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

<>the earth trembled and shook

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

<>Thy way is in the sea, <>thy footsteps are not known

20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
