To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 To God I cried with my voice: yea with my voice I have cried unto the mighty God; and ear to me he gave. 2 In my distress I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: also my soul refused comfort quite.
3 I did remember God, also disquieted was I: I did complain, and my spirit o’erwhelm’d was heavily. Selah. 4 Awaking thou dost hold mine eyes: I cannot speak for fears. 5 I have consider’d days of old, of ancient times the years.
6 To my remembrance I do call the song in night I had: I commun’d with my heart, also strict search my spirit made. 7 For ever will the Lord cast off? and pleas’d will he not be? 8 His tender mercy is it ceas’d to perpetuity?
his promise doth it fail for aye? 9 Hath God forgot likewise gracious to be? hath he shut up in wrath his dear mercies? Selah. 10 Then did I say, within myself, ‘tis mine infirmity: the years of the right hand I will think on of the most high.
11 I will unto remembrance call the actions of the Lord: thy wondrous works of ancient time surely I will record. 12 I’ll muse also of all thy works, and of thy doings talk. 13 Within the temple is thy way, O God, where thou dost walk:
what God so great as our God is? 14 Works wonderful that are thou God hast done; among the folk thou dost thy strength declare. 15 Those that thy people are thou hast with thine own arm set free, of Jacob also of Joseph the childeren that be. Selah.
16 Thee did the waters see, O God, thee did the waters see: they were afraid, the deeps also could not but troubled be. 17 With waters were the clouds pour’d forth, the skies a sound out sent: also thine arrows on each side abroad dispersed went.
18 Thy thunder’s voice in heaven was: the world illuminate thy lightnings did, the earth also trembl’d and shook hereat. 19 Thy ways i’th sea, thy paths and steps unknown, are in the deep. 20 By Moses’ and by Aaron’s hand thou ledd’st thy folk like sheep.
