¹ I cry aloud to God; I cry aloud, and he hears me. ² In times of trouble I pray to the Lord; all night long I lift my hands in prayer, but I cannot find comfort. ³ When I think of God, I sigh; when I meditate, I feel discouraged. ⁴ He keeps me awake all night; I am so worried that I cannot speak. ⁵ I think of days gone by and remember years of long ago. ⁶ I spend the night in deep thought; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself: ⁷ "Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us? ⁸ Has he stopped loving us? Does his promise no longer stand? ⁹ Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has anger taken the place of his compassion?" ¹⁰ Then I said, "What hurts me most is this--- that God is no longer powerful." ¹¹ I will remember your great deeds, LORD; I will recall the wonders you did in the past. ¹² I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts. ¹³ Everything you do, O God, is holy. No god is as great as you. ¹⁴ You are the God who works miracles; you showed your might among the nations. ¹⁵ By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph. ¹⁶ When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid, and the depths of the sea trembled. ¹⁷ The clouds poured down rain; thunder crashed from the sky, and lightning flashed in all directions. ¹⁸ The crash of your thunder rolled out, and flashes of lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook. ¹⁹ You walked through the waves; you crossed the deep sea, but your footprints could not be seen. ²⁰ You led your people like a shepherd, with Moses and Aaron in charge.
