1 |
To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath given ear unto me. --
|
2 |
In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted. --
|
3 |
I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah. --
|
4 |
Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not. --
|
5 |
I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages. --
|
6 |
I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently: --
|
7 |
To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more? --
|
8 |
Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations? --
|
9 |
Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah. --
|
10 |
And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.' --
|
11 |
I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders, --
|
12 |
And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings. --
|
13 |
O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like God? --
|
14 |
Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength, --
|
15 |
Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. --
|
16 |
The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled. --
|
17 |
Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down. --
|
18 |
The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh. --
|
19 |
In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known. --
|
20 |
Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron! --
