1TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF ASAPH. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, My voice [is] to God, And He has given ear to me.2I sought the Lord in a day of my distress, My hand has been spread out by night, And it does not cease, My soul has refused to be comforted.3I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. Selah.4You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, I have been moved, and I do not speak.5I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.6I remember my music in the night, I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently:7Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He add to be pleased no longer?8Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation?9Has God forgotten [His] favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? Selah.10And I say: “My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.”11I mention the doings of YAH, For I remember Your wonders of old,12And I have meditated on all Your working, And I talk concerning Your doings.13O God, Your way [is] in holiness, Who [is] a great god like God?14You [are] the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples,15You have redeemed Your people with strength, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.16The waters have seen You, O God, The waters have seen You, They are afraid—also depths are troubled.17Thick clouds have poured out waters, The skies have given forth a noise, Also—Your arrows go up and down.18The voice of Your thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes.19Your way [is] in the sea, And Your paths in many waters, And Your tracks have not been known.20You have led Your people as a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
